I Got My First Real Six-string Bought It At
The Five And Dime Played It ′til My Fingers
Bled 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 Should′ve 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 Wanna Be There Those Were The Best
Days Of My Life Ain′t No Use In
Complainin′ When You Got A Job To Do I
Spent My Evenings Down At The Drive-in And That's
When I Met You, Yeah! 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, Oh Man, We Were
Killin′ Time We Were Young And Restless We Needed
To Unwind I Guess Nothing Can Last Forever Forever,
No Yeah And Now The Times Are Changin'
Look At Everything That's Come And Gone Sometimes When
I Play That Old Six-string I Think About You,
Wonder What Went Wrong Standin′ On Your Mama′s
Porch You Told Me That It'd 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, Uh-huh It Was The Summer Of
'69, Oh, Yeah Me And My Baby In ′69,
Oh, Oh It Was The Summer, Summer, Summer
Of '69 (Yeah)
