I got my first real six string~~~
Bought it at the five and dime
Played it 'til my fin-ger~~~ bled
Was the summer of six-ty nine
Me and some guys from school
Had a band and we tried real hard
Jimmy quit and Jo-dy got mar~~~ried
I should'a known, we'd never get far
Oh when I look back now
That summer semed to last for-ev-er
And if I had the chance
YEAH, I'd always, WAN-NA BE THERE
Those were the best days of my~~~ life
Back in the summer of sixty nine
Man, we were killing time
We were young and restless
We needed to unwind
I guess nothing can last for-ev~~~~er
FOR-EV~~~~ER.... NO
Ain't no use in complaining
When you got a job to do
Spent my eveninings down at the drive-in
And that's when I met you
Standing on your mama's porch
You told me that you'd wait forever
Oh and when you held my hand
I knew that it was now or never
Those were the best days of my life
Back in the summer of '69
Man we were killing time
We were young and restless
We needed to unwind
I guess nothing can last forever - forever, no
And now the times are changing
Look at everything that's come and gone
Sometimes when I play that old six-string
I think about you wonder what went wrong
Standing on your mama's porch
You told me it would last forever
Oh the way you held my hand
I knew that it was now or never
Those were the best days of my life
Back in the summer of '69
