Summer Of '69

[00:04.61] I got my first real six-string

[00:07.36] Bought it at the five-and-dime

[00:10.86] Played it 'til my fingers bled

[00:14.11] Was the summer of sixty-nine

[00:17.86] Me and some guys from school

[00:20.86] Had a band and we tried real hard

[00:24.36] Jimmy quit, Jody got married

[00:27.86] I should've known we'd never get far

[00:31.61] Oh, when I look back now

[00:35.11] That summer seemed to last forever

[00:38.36] And if I had the choice

[00:41.86] Yeah, I'd always wanna be there

[00:45.61] Those were the best days of my life

[00:55.36] Ain't no use in complainin'

[00:59.36] When you've got a job to do

[01:02.61] Spent my evenings down at the drive-in

[01:06.36] And that's when I met you, yeah

[01:10.36] Standin' on your mama's porch

[01:13.36] You told me that you'd wait forever

[01:16.61] Oh, and when you held my hand

[01:20.11] I knew that it was now or never

[01:24.36] Those were the best days of my life

[01:28.86] Oh, yeah

[01:31.86] Back in the summer of sixty-nine, oh

[01:42.11] Man, we were killin' time, we were young and restless we needed to unwind

[01:47.86] I guess nothin' can last forever, forever, no

[01:55.11] Yeah

[02:02.36] And now the times are changin'

[02:16.36] Look at everything that's come and gone

[02:17.36] Sometimes when I play that old six-string

[02:19.36] I think about you, wonder what went wrong

[02:22.36] Standin' on your mama's porch

[02:25.36] You told me that it'd last forever

[02:29.36] Oh, and when you held my hand

[02:32.36] I knew that it was now or never

[02:36.36] Those were the best days of my life

[02:42.61] Oh, yeah

[02:44.86] Back in the summer of sixty-nine, oh

[02:51.36] It was the summer of sixty-nine, oh, yeah

[02:59.61] Me and my baby in sixty-nine, oh

[03:04.11] It was the summer, the summer, the summer of sixty-nine, yeah
