I got my first real sixstring
Bought it at the fiveanddime
Played it till my fingers bled
It was the summer of '69
Me and some guys from school
Had a band and we tried real hard
Jimmy quit and Jody got married
I 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
Ya I'd always wanna be there
Those were the best days of my life
Back in the summer of '69
Ow yeah
I never baby at 69
Oooo
Yeah
Ain't no use in complainin'
When you got a job to do
Spent my evenin's down at the drivein
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
Back in the summer of '69
Oh yeah
A may baby in '69
Yeah
Man we were killin' time
We were young and restless
We needed to unwind
I guess nothin' can last forever forever no
Yeah
Back in the summer of '69
Oh yeah
I never baby at 69
Ohh
