Summer of '69
Bryan Adams
I got my first real six strings Bought it at the Five & 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 shouda 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 Spend my evenin'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 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 Man we were killing 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 'bout you; wonder what went wrong Standin'on your mama's porch You told me it would last forever Oh 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 Back in the summer of 69 Me and my baby in 69...
