Summer of '69

[00:04.41] I got my first real six-string

[00:07.16] Bought it at the five-and-dime

[00:10.66] Played it 'til my fingers bled

[00:13.91] Was the summer of sixty-nine

[00:17.66] Me and some guys from school

[00:20.66] Had a band and we tried real hard

[00:24.16] Jimmy quit, Jody got married

[00:27.66] I should've known we'd never get far

[00:31.41] Oh, when I look back now

[00:34.91] That summer seemed to last forever

[00:38.16] And if I had the choice

[00:41.66] Yeah, I'd always wanna be there

[00:45.41] Those were the best days of my life

[00:55.16] Ain't no use in complainin'

[00:59.16] When you've got a job to do

[01:02.41] Spent my evenings down at the drive-in

[01:06.16] And that's when I met you, yeah

[01:10.16] Standin' on your mama's porch

[01:13.16] You told me that you'd wait forever

[01:16.41] Oh, and when you held my hand

[01:19.91] I knew that it was now or never

[01:24.16] Those were the best days of my life

[01:28.66] Oh, yeah

[01:31.66] Back in the summer of sixty-nine, oh

[01:36.91] Man, we were killin' time, we were young and restless

[01:41.91] We needed to unwind

[01:47.66] I guess nothin' can last forever, forever, no

[01:54.91] Yeah

[02:02.16] And now the times are changin'

[02:16.16] Look at everything that's come and gone

[02:17.16] Sometimes when I play that old six-string

[02:19.16] I think about you, wonder what went wrong

[02:22.16] Standin' on your mama's porch

[02:25.16] You told me that it'd last forever

[02:29.16] Oh, and when you held my hand

[02:32.16] I knew that it was now or never

[02:36.16] Those were the best days of my life

[02:42.41] Oh, yeah

[02:44.66] Back in the summer of sixty-nine, oh

[02:51.16] It was the summer of sixty-nine, oh, yeah

[02:59.41] Me and my baby in sixty-nine, oh

[03:03.91] It was the summer, the summer, the summer of sixty-nine, yeah
