Summer Of '69

Whoa

I got my first real six string

Bought it at the five and dime

Played it till my fingers bled

It was the summer of sixty nine

Me and some guys from school had a band

And we try real hard

Jimmy quit and judy got married

I should have known we'd never get far

Oh when I look back now

The summer seemed to last forever

And if I had the choice

Yeah I'd wanna be there

Those were the best days of my life

Oh yeah

Back in the summer of sixty nine

Sixty nine sixty nine whoa

Oh yeah

Back in the summer of sixty nine

Sixty nine sixty nine whoa

Ain't no use in complaining

When I got a job to do

Spent my evenings down at the drive in

And that's when I met you

Yeah 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

Oh yeah

Back in the summer of sixty nine

Oh yeah oh yeah oh yeah oh yeah oh yeah oh yeah

Man we were killin' time

We were young and restless we needed to unwind

I guess nothing can last forever forever no

In the summer of sixty nine

Oh yeah

Back in the summer of sixty nine

Oh yeah

Back in the summer of sixty nine
