I got my first real six-string Bought it at the five-and-dime 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 Ain`t no use in complainin` When you got a job to do Spent my evenin`s 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 Back in the summer of `69 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 I think about ya wonder what went wrong Standin` on your mama`s porch You told me it would last forever Oh the way you held my hand I knew that it was now or never Those were the best days of my life Back in the summer of `69
