Summer of 69 — текст песни (Mxpx)

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 joey got married

I shoulda known wed never get far

Oh when I look back now

That summer seemed to last forever

And if I had the choice

Yeah - Id always wanna be there

Those were the best days of my life

Back in the summer of 69

Aint no use in complaining

When you got a job to do

Spent my evenings down at the drive-in

And thats when I met you

Standin on your mamas porch

You told me that youd 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 killining time

We were young and restless

We needed to unwind

I guess nothin can last forever - forever, no

And now the times are changing

Look at everything thats come and gone

Sometimes I play that old six-string

I think about ya wonder what went wrong

Standing on your mamas porch

You told me it would last forever

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
