Good evening, everybody. Here we go. One, two, three, four. 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 Should've known we'd never get far But when I look back now The 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 complaining When you got a job to do Spend my evenings down at the drive-in And that's when I met you, yeah Standing on your mama's porch You told me that you'd wait forever And when we 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 Yeah Man, we were killing time We were young and reckless We needed to unwind I guess nothing can last forever Forever, yeah And now the times are changing Look at everything that's come and gone Sometimes when I play my old six-string I think about you, wonder what went wrong Standing on your mama's porch You told me that it'd last forever And when we 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 Yeah It was the summer of 69 Oh, yeah Just me and my baby in 69 Hey! Oh, yeah Yeah It was the summer Summer, summer of 69 Hey! Hey! It was the summer of love Yeah! Thank you!
