| [00:20.28] |
I got my first real six-string |
| [00:23.36] |
Bought it at the five-and-dime |
| [00:26.68] |
Played it till my fingers bled |
| [00:29.86] |
It was the summer of '69 |
| [00:33.53] |
Me and some guys from school |
| [00:36.61] |
Had a band and we tried real hard |
| [00:39.87] |
Jimmy quit and Jody got married |
| [00:43.36] |
I shoulda known we'd never get far |
| [00:47.54] |
Oh when I look back now |
| [00:50.09] |
That summer seemed to last forever |
| [00:53.93] |
And if I had the choice |
| [00:57.25] |
Ya - I'd always wanna be there |
| [01:00.73] |
Those were the best days of my life |
| [01:11.21] |
Ain't no use in complainin' |
| [01:14.60] |
When you got a job to do |
| [01:17.56] |
Spent my evenin's down at the drive-in |
| [01:21.74] |
And that's when I met you |
| [01:24.62] |
Standin' on your mama's porch |
| [01:27.84] |
You told me that you'd wait forever |
| [01:31.47] |
Oh and when you held my hand |
| [01:34.54] |
I knew that it was now or never |
| [01:38.36] |
Those were the best days of my life |
| [01:46.59] |
Back in the summer of '69 |
| [01:55.36] |
Man we were killin' time |
| [01:57.52] |
We were young and restless |
| [01:59.65] |
We needed to unwind |
| [02:02.57] |
I guess nothin' can last forever - forever |
| [02:22.57] |
And now the times are changin' |
| [02:25.80] |
Look at everything that's come and gone |
| [02:28.87] |
Sometimes when I play that old six-string |
| [02:32.35] |
I think about ya wonder what went wrong |
| [02:35.91] |
Standin' on your mama's porch |
| [02:39.15] |
You told me it would last forever |
| [02:42.57] |
And the way you held my hand |
| [02:45.74] |
I knew that it was now or never |
| [02:49.57] |
Those were the best days of my life |
| [02:59.70] |
Back in the summer of '69 |
