Summer Of 69 lyrics

i got my first real six-string bought it at the five 
and dime played it till my fingers bled it was the summer of '69 me 
and some guys from school had a band and we tried real hard jimmy quit 
and joey got married i shoulda 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 back in the summer of '69 ain't no use 
in complaining when you got a job to do spent my evenings down 
at the drive-in and that's when i met you standin' 
on your daddy'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 back 
in the summer of '69 man we were killining time we were young 
and restless we needed to unwind i guess nothin' can last forever - forever, 
no and now the times are changing look at everything that's come 
and gone sometimes i play that old six-string i think 
about ya wonder what went wrong standing 
on your daddy's porch you told me it would last forever the way 
you held my hand i knew that it was now or never those 
were the best days of my life back in the summer of '69
