Summer Of '69 lyrics
by Bryan Adams



I got my first real six-stringBought it at the five-and-dimePlayed 'til my fingers bledIt was summer of '69Me and some guys from schoolHad a Band and we tried real hardJimmy quit and Jody got marriedI shualda known we'd never get farOh when I look back nowThe summer seemed to last foreverAnd if I had the choiceYa - I'd always wanna be thereThose were the best days of my life(CHORUS)Ain't no use in complainin'When you got a job to doSpent my evenin's down at the drive inAnd that's when I met youStandin on your mama's porchYou told me that you'd wait foreverOh and when you held my handI knew that it was now or neverThose were the best days of my life(Chorus) Back in Summer of '69Man we were killin' timeWe were young and restlessWe needed to unwindI guess nothin' can last forever, forever, noAnd now the times are changin'Look at everything that's come and goneSomethimes when I play that old six-stringI think about ya wonder what went wrongStandin' on your mama's porchYou told me it would last foreverOh and when you held my handI knew that it was now or neverThose were the best days of my life(Chorus) Back in summer of '69
