Summer Of '69 - MTV Unplugged Version

I got my first real six string
 Bought it at the Five and Dime
 Played it 'til my fingers bled
 Was the summer of '69
 Me and some guys from school
 Had a band and we tried real hard
 Jimmy quit and Jody got married
 I shoulda known we'd never get far
 But when I look back now
 That summer seemed to last forever
 And if I had the choice
 Yeah, I'd always wanna be there
 Those were the best days of my life
 ♪
 Ain't no use in complainin'
 When you got a job to do
 Spent my evenin's down at the drive-in
 And that's when I met you, yeah
 Standin' on your mama's porch
 You told me that you'd wait forever
 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 killin' time
 We were young and restless
 We needed to unwind
 I guess nothin' can last forever, forever, yeah
 ♪
 And now the times are changin'
 Look at everything that's come and gone
 Sometimes when I play my old six string
 I think about you, wonder what went wrong
 Standin' on your mama's porch
 You told me it'll last forever
 And the way you held my hand
 I knew that it was now or never
 Those were the best days of my life
