文本歌词

I got my first real six-string
Bought it at the five-and-dime
Played it 'til 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 Jody got married
I should've 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
Ain't no use in complainin'
When you've got a job to do
Spent my evening'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 '69 oh
Man we were killin' time
We were young and restless
We needed to unwind
I guess nothin' can
Last forever forever no
And now the times are changin'
Look at everything
That's come and gone
Sometimes when I play
That old six-string
I think about you
Wonder what went wrong
Standin' on your mama's porch
You told me that
It'd last 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 '69 oh
It was the summer
Of '69 oh yeah
Me and my baby in '69 oh
It was the summer
The summer the summer of '69 yeah
