Karaoke Summer of '69 (Live)

I bought my first real six string
Bought it at the five and dime
Played 'til my my fingers bled
It 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 'cos those were the best days of my life
Ain't no use in complainin'
When you got a job to do
Spent my evenin's 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
All right, and now the times are changin'
Looking everything that's come and gone
Sometimes when I play that old six string
Think about ya wonder what went wrong
Standin' on your mama's porch
You told me it would last forever
Oh the way you held my hand
I knew that it was now or never
Those were the best days of my life
Oh, yeah it was the summer of sixty nine oh, yeah
It was the summer of sixty nine
It was the summer the summer
The summer of sixty nine oh, yeah
Oh, the summer the summer
The summer of sixty nine oh, oh yeah
