Altiyan Childs - Summer Of 69 lyrics

I got my first real six-string Bought it at the five-and-dime Played it till my fingers bled It was summer of '69 Me and some guys from school We had a band and we tried real hard But Jimmy quit and Joey 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 Spent my evenings 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 summer of '69 Man, we were k**in' time We were young and restless We needed to unwind I guess nothin' can last forever Forever, yeah Standin' on your mama's porch You told me that it'd 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 Yeah, yeah, yeah Back in the summer of '69 (Back in the summer of '69) It was the summer of '69
