SUMMER OF '69
Words and music by Adams and Vallance
I got my first real six-string
Bought it at the five-and-dime
Played it 'til my fingers bled
Was the summer of '69
Me and some guys from the school
Had a band and we tried real hard
Jimmy quit and Jody got married
I shoulda know we'd never get far
But 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 - ya
Standin' on your mama's porch
You told me that you'd wait forever
Oh and 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
Man we were killin' time
We were young and reckless
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'n 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 live
Me and my baby in '69
It was the summer, summer, summer of '69
