Summer Of '69 (Remastered 2019)

Whoa

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

I should've known we'd never get far

Oh, when I look back now

That summer seemed to last forever

And if I had a choice

Yeah, I'd always wanna be there

Those were the best days of my life

Whoa, yeah

Back in the summer of '69

Whoa

Whoa, yeah

Back in the summer of '69

Whoa

Ain't no use in complaining

When you've got a job to do

Spent my evenings down at the drive-in

And that's when I met you, yeah

Sanding on your mama's porch

You told me that you'd wait forever

Oh, when you held my hand

I knew that it was now or never

Those were the best days of my life

Whoa, yeah

Back in the summer of '69

Whoa, yeah (Whoa, yeah)

Whoa, yeah (Whoa, yeah)

Whoa, yeah (Whoa, yeah)

Whoa

Man, we were killin' time

We were young and restless

We needed to unwind

I guess nothin' could last forever

Forever, no

Yeah

Whoa, yeah

(In the summer of '69)

(Whoa, yeah)

Back in the summer of '69

Whoa, yeah

Back in the summer of '69
