[00:04.50]I got my first real six-string
[00:07.50]Bought it at the five-and-dime
[00:11.50]Played it till my fingers bled
[00:14.50][02:51.50][03:09.50]It was the summer of '69
[00:17.50]Me and some guys from school
[00:21.50]Had a band and we tried real hard
[00:24.50]Jimmy quit and Jody got married
[00:28.50]I shoulda known we'd never get far
[00:32.50]Oh when I look back now
[00:35.50]That summer seemed to last forever
[00:38.50]And if I had the choice
[00:42.50]Yeah - I'd always wanna be there
[00:45.50]Those were the best days of my life
[00:56.50]Ain't no use in complainin'
[00:59.50]When you got a job to do
[01:02.50]Spent my evenin's down at the drive-in
[01:07.50]And that's when I met you
[01:09.50][02:22.50]Standin' on your mama's porch
[01:13.50]You told me that you'd wait forever
[02:25.50]You told me that it'd last forever
[01:16.50][02:29.50]Oh and when you held my hand
[01:20.50][02:32.50]I knew that it was now or never
[01:23.50][02:36.50]Those were the best days of my life
[01:29.50][02:42.50][02:55.50]Oh yeah
[01:32.50][02:44.50]Back in the summer of '69
[01:36.50][02:49.50][03:03.50]Ohhh
[01:40.50]Man we were killin' time
[01:43.50]We were young and restless
[01:45.50]We needed to unwind
[01:48.50]I guess nothin' can last forever - forever, no
[01:57.50][03:17.50]Yeah
[02:09.50]And now the times are changin'
[02:12.50]Look at everything that's come and gone
[02:15.50]Sometimes when I play that old six-string
[02:19.50]I think about ya wonder what went wrong
[02:58.50]Me and my baby, '69
