Summer Of `69 — текст песни (Adams Bryan)

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 we`d never get far
Oh when I look back now
That 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
Back in the summer of `69
Ain`t no use in complaining
When you got a job to do
Spent my evenings down at the drive-in
And that`s when I met you
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 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 that`s come and gone
Sometimes I play that old six-string
I think about ya wonder what went wrong
Standing on your mama`s 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
