Summer Of 69

[00:04.59] I got my first real six-string

[00:07.24] Bought it at the five and dime

[00:10.96] Played it 'til my fingers bled

[00:13.88] Was the summer of '69

[00:17.87] Me and some guys from school

[00:20.79] Had a band and we tried real hard

[00:24.51] Jimmy quit and Jody got married

[00:27.69] I should've known we'd never get far

[00:32.49] Oh, when I look back now

[00:34.62] That summer seemed to last forever

[00:38.33] And if I had the choice

[00:41.79] Yeah, I'd always wanna be there

[00:45.24] Those were the best days of my life

[00:48.43] ♩

[00:55.60] Ain't no use in complainin'

[00:59.05] When you got a job to do

[01:02.51] I spent my evenings down at the drive-in

[01:06.23] And that's when I met you, yeah!

[01:09.43] Standin' on your mama's porch

[01:12.62] You told me that you'd wait forever

[01:16.33] Oh, and when you held my hand

[01:19.52] I knew that it was now or never

[01:23.51] Those were the best days of my life

[01:26.16] ♩

[01:28.82] Oh, yeah

[01:29.88] ♩

[01:31.22] Back in the summer of '69, oh

[01:35.46] ♩

[01:39.98] Man, we were killin' time

[01:42.90] We were young and restless

[01:44.49] We needed to unwind

[01:47.41] I guess nothing can last forever

[01:51.66] Forever, no

[01:53.52] ♩

[01:56.44] Yeah

[01:56.71] ♩

[02:07.35] And now the times are changin'

[02:11.07] Look at everything that's come and gone

[02:14.26] Sometimes when I play that old six-string

[02:17.98] I think about you, wonder what went wrong

[02:21.43] Standin' on your mama's porch

[02:24.62] You told me that it'd last forever

[02:28.07] Oh, and when you held my hand

[02:31.52] I knew that it was now or never

[02:34.98] Those were the best days of my life

[02:38.69] ♩

[02:40.55] Oh, yeah

[02:42.15] ♩

[02:43.48] Back in the summer of '69, uh-huh

[02:50.38] It was the summer of '69, oh, yeah

[02:56.76] Me and my baby in '69, oh, oh

[03:07.38] It was the summer, summer, summer of '69

[03:14.29] (Yeah)
