Bryan 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 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 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 Ya I'd always want to 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 evening'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 k**in' 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
