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 '69
Me and some guys from school

Had a band and we tried real
hard
Jimmy quit and Jody got married

I shoulda known we'd never get
far
But when I look back now

The summer seemed to last
forever
And ifl had the choice
Yeah I'd 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
Spend my evenings down at the
drive in
And that's when I met you yeah
Standin' on your mama's porch

You told me that you'd wait
forever
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 reckless
We needed to unwind
I guess nothin' can last forever,
forever, no
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 it would last forever

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
Hey it was the summer of '69

Oh yeah just me and my baby
in '69
The summer, the summer of '69
It was the summer of love
