Lyrics

• I got my first real six-string

• Bought it at the five-and-dime

• Played it 'till 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

• should known we'd never get far

• oh when I look back now

• That summer seemed to last forever

• And if I had the choice

• Yeah, I had always wanna be there

• Those were the best days of my life

• Ain't no use in complaining

• When you 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

• 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, yeah

• 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 that it'd last forever

• Oh 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 69, uh-huh

• It was the summer of 69, o yeah, me n my baby in 69

• It was the summer of, the summer, summer of 69
