Summer Of '69

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
