Summer Of '69 By Bryan Adams

I got my first real six-string

Bought it at the five-and-dime

Played it till my fingers bled

Was the summer of '69

Me and some guys from school

Had a band and we tried real hard

Jimmy quit, Jody got married

Shoulda 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 want to be there

Those were the best days of my life

Ain't no use in complainin'

When you got a job to do

Spent my evenings down at the drive-in

And that's when I met you

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

Ohhh

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

Think about you wonder what went wrong

Standin' on your mama's porch

You told me it would 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

Un-huh

It was the summer of '69, oh yeah

Me and my baby in '69, oh

It was the summer, the summer, summer of '69
