| [00:06.18] |
I got my first real six-string |
| [00:09.09] |
Bought it at the five-and-dime |
| [00:12.72] |
Played it till my fingers bled |
| [00:15.92] |
It was the summer of '69 |
| [00:19.75] |
Me and some guys from school |
| [00:22.94] |
Had a band and we tried real hard |
| [00:26.39] |
Jimmy quit and Jody got married |
| [00:29.71] |
I shoulda known we'd never get far |
| [00:34.33] |
Oh when I look back now |
| [00:36.85] |
That summer seemed to last forever |
| [00:39.98] |
And if I had the choice |
| [00:43.94] |
Ya - I'd always wanna be there |
| [00:47.38] |
Those were the best days of my life |
| [00:50.93] |
|
| [00:58.28] |
Ain't no use in complainin' |
| [01:01.19] |
When you got a job to do |
| [01:04.25] |
Spent my evenin's down at the drive-in |
| [01:08.09] |
And that's when I met you |
| [01:11.68] |
Standin' on your mama's porch |
| [01:14.81] |
You told me that you'd wait forever |
| [01:18.50] |
Oh and when you held my hand |
| [01:21.68] |
I knew that it was now or never |
| [01:25.46] |
Those were the best days of my life |
| [01:30.59] |
|
| [01:33.85] |
Back in the summer of '69 |
| [01:42.79] |
Man we were killin' time |
| [01:45.07] |
We were young and restless |
| [01:47.21] |
We needed to unwind |
| [01:50.11] |
I guess nothin' can last forever - forever, no |
| [02:10.47] |
And now the times are changin' |
| [02:13.57] |
Look at everything that's come and gone |
| [02:17.01] |
Sometimes when I play that old six-string |
| [02:20.35] |
I think about ya wonder what went wrong |
| [02:24.16] |
Standin' on your mama's porch |
| [02:27.40] |
You told me it would last forever |
| [02:31.34] |
Oh the way you held my hand |
| [02:34.26] |
I knew that it was now or never |
| [02:38.02] |
Those were the best days of my life |
| [02:46.77] |
Back in the summer of '69 |
