Lyrics

[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
