Summer Of '69

[00:04.95] I got my first real six-string

[00:07.88] Bought it at the five-and-dime

[00:11.60] Played it 'til my fingers bled

[00:14.78] Was the summer of '69

[00:18.50] Me and some guys from school

[00:21.69] Had a band and we tried real hard.

[00:25.15] Jimmy quit, Jody got married

[00:28.61] I should've known we'd never get far

[00:32.59] Oh, when I look back now

[00:35.25] That summer seemed to last forever

[00:39.24] And if I had the choice

[00:42.42] Yeah, I'd always wanna be there

[00:46.14] Those were the best days of my life

[00:56.76] Ain't no use in complainin'

[01:00.22] When you've got a job to do

[01:03.14] Spent my evenings down at the drive-in

[01:07.13] And that's when I met you, yeah

[01:10.31] Standin' on your mama's porch

[01:13.50] You told me that you'd wait forever

[01:17.23] Oh, and when you held my hand

[01:20.42] I knew that it was now or never

[01:24.14] Those were the best days of my life

[01:29.72] Oh, yeah.

[01:32.38] Back in the summer of '69, oh.

[01:41.41] Man we were killin' time

[01:43.80] We were young and restless

[01:45.65] We needed to unwind

[01:48.84] I guess nothin' can last forever,

[01:52.15] forever, no! yeah!

[02:09.15] And now the times are changin'

[02:12.34] Look at everything that's come and gone

[02:15.81] Sometimes when I play that old six-string

[02:19.26] I think about you, wonder what went wrong

[02:22.99] Standin' on your mama's porch

[02:26.17] You told me that it'd last forever

[02:29.89] Oh, and when you held my hand

[02:33.08] I knew that it was now or never

[02:36.52] Those were the best days of my life

[02:42.37] Oh, yeah.

[02:44.98] Back in the summer of '69, oh.

[02:51.88] It was the summer of '69, oh, yeah.

[02:58.52] Me and my baby in '69, oh.

[03:09.95] It was the summer, the summer,

[03:13.13] the summer of '69, yeah.
