Summer of '69 - Bryan Adams

I got my first real six-string
Bought it at the five-and-dimes
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 Jodie got married
I shoulda know we'd never get far

Oh, when I look back now
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 complainin'
When you've got a job to do
Spent my evening's down at the drive-in
And that's where I met you

Standin' at your mama's porch
You told me that you'd wait forever
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 a-chanign'
Look at everything that's come and gone
Every time I play that old six-string
Think about you, wonder what went wrong

Standin' by 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
