Karaoke Summer Of '69

I got my first real six string bought it at the five and dime
Played it 'till my fingers bled was the summer of sixty nine
Me and some guys from school had a band and we tried real hard
Jimmy quit and Jody got married
Should have 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'd always wanna be there
Those were the best days of my life
Hey, ain't no use in complainin' when you've got a job to do
Spent 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
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 sixty nine, oh
Man we were killin' time we were young and restless we needed 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
Sometimes when I play that old six string
Think about you wonder what went wrong
Standin' on your mama's porch
You told me that it would 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 sixty nine
Ha, ha, it was the summer of sixty nine
Oh, yeah me and my baby sixty nine, oh, woah
It was the summer summer, a summer of sixty nine
Yeah, yeah
