Summer Of 69 Lyrics by 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
    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 shoulda known 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 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 killin' 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'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 life
    Back in the summer of '69
