Brian Adams - Summer Of '69 lyrics

I got my first real six-string Bought it at the five-and-dime Played it till my fingers bled Was the summer of '69 Me and some guys from school Had a band and we tried real hard Jimmy quit, 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 evenings 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 oh yeah Back in the summer of '69 Ohhhhh Man we were k**in' time We were young and restless We needed to unwind I guess nothin' 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 Think about you wonder what went wrong Standin' on your mama's porch You told me that it 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 Ohh yeeaahh.... Back in the summer of '69 uhh huh...it was the summer of 69 Ohhh Yeeaahh....me and my baby in 69 Ohhhhhhhhhhhhh...ho.... it was the summer....the summer, the summer of 69 YEAH
