I got my first real six-string
Bought it at the five-and-dime
❌ it 'til my fingers bled
❌ the summer of '69
Me and some guys from school
Had a band and we ❌ real hard.
Jimmy quit, Jody got ❌
I should've known we'd ❌ get far
Oh, when I look back now
That summer seemed to last forever
And if I had the choice
Yeah, I'd ❌ wanna be there
Those ❌ the ❌ days of my life
Ain't no use in complainin'
When you've got a job to do
❌ my evenings down at the drive-in
And that's when I ❌ you, yeah
Standin' on your mama's porch
You ❌ me that you'd wait forever
Oh, and when you held my hand
I ❌ that it was now or never
Those were the best days of my life
Oh, yeah.
Back in the summer of '69, oh.
Man we were killin' time
We were ❌ and restless
We ❌ to unwind
I guess nothin' can last forever, forever, no! yeah!
And now the times are changin'
Look at everything that's come and gone
❌ when I play that old six-string
I think about you, wonder what ❌ wrong
Standin' on your mama's porch
You told me that it'd last 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 '69, oh.
It was the summer of '69, oh, yeah.
Me and my baby in '69, oh.
It was the summer, the summer, the summer of '69, yeah.
