Summer Of '69

Lyrics

I got my first real six-string
 I bought it at the five-and-dime
 Played it 'til my fingers bled
 You see
 Was the summer of '69
 Me and some guys from school
 We had a band and we tried real hard.
 You see
 Jimmy quit, Jody got married
 I should've known that we'd never get that far
 Oh man, 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
 Oh, summer of 69
 Na na na na na na 69
 It was the summer of 69
 There ain't no use in complainin'
 When you've got a job to do
 You spent you evenings down at the drive-in
 And girl you know that's when I met you
 You standin' 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
 Oh, summer of '69
 Na na na na na na'69
 It was the summer of '69
 Man we were killin' time
 We were young and restless
 We needed to unwind
 I guess nothin' can last forever girl
 Forever fuck off
 And now the times are changin'
 Look at everything that's come and gone
 Sometimes when I play that old goddamn six-string
 I think about you girl, wonder what went wrong
 Standin' on your mama's porch
 You told me that it'd last forever
 Oh, and I know when I held your hand girl
 I knew that it was now or never
 Those were the best days of my life
 Oh, summer of '69,
 Na na na na na na '69
 It was the summer of '69
 '69 it was the the summer of '69
