      Summer of '69
 
 
 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 Jody 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
 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
 
 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 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
 
 
 
 Kids Wanna Rock
 
 
 
 Turned on the radio
 Sounded like a disco
 Musta turned the dial for a couple of miles
 But I couldn't find no rock 'n roll
 
 This computerized crap ain't gettin' me off
 Everywhere I go the kids wanna rock
 London to L.A.
 Talkin' 'bout the New Wave
 For a couple of bucks you get a weird haircut
 And waste your life away
 
 Around the world or around the block
 Everywhere I go the kids wanna rock
 Get me my D.J.
 I got somethin' he's gotta play
 Wanna hear it I can't wait
 So turn it up, turn it up...
 
 Kick down the barricades
 Listen what the kids say
 From time to time people change their minds
 But the music is here to stay
 
 I've seen it all from the bottom to the top
 Everywhere I go the kids wanna rock
 
 Around the world or around the block
 Everywhere I go the kids wanna rock
 
 Everywhere I go the kids wanna rock
 
 
 It's Only Love
 
 
 
 When the feelin' is ended
 There ain't no use pretendin'
 Don't ya worry - it's only love
 
 When your world has been shattered
 Ain't nothin' else matters
 It ain't over - it's only love
 And that's all - ya
 When your heart has been broken
 Hard words have been spoken
 It ain't easy - but it's only love
 
 And if your life ain't worth livin'
 And you're ready to give in
 Just remember - that it's only love
 
 You can live without the aggravation
 Ya gotta wanna win - ya gotta wanna win
 
 You keep lookin' back in desperation
 Over and over and over again
 
 When your world is shattered
 Ain't nothin' else matters
 It ain't over - it's only love
 
 If your life ain't worth livin'
 And you're ready to give in
 Just remember - that it's only love
 Ya - that's all
 
 Ya it ain't easy baby
 But it's only love - and that's all
 
 
 Long Gone
 
 
 
 The telephone's bin ringin' - ringin' off the wall
 It's your Las Vegas lawyer - another long distance call
 He says you get the house and the car
 And I get the clothes I got on
 Now she's gone
 Long, long, long, long gone
 Now I'm a happy boy
 
 She's long, long, long, long gone
 
 Operator get me Manhatten - get my baby on the line
 Sooner or later she's gotta realize
 That all my feelin's were for real
 But maybe she was leadin' me on
 
 Chorus
 
 She took the frigidaire
 She got my favorite chair
 You could say she got the best of me
 
 It's like a legal crime
 But in a matter of time
 She'll be back for the rest of me
 
 
 Ain't Gonna Cry
 
 
 
 Well I hardly knew ya baby
 And you were comin' on
 Mama told me there'd be days like these
 I shoulda known better maybe
 Woulda seen right through ya
 I needed you like a disease
 
 I ain't gonna cry over you
 You're a mystery
 I ain't gonna cry over you
 You're history - history
 
 You said you'd wait forever
 But I know your type
 The lights are on but no-one's home
 
 I changed my number maybe
 You better change your mind
 Cause I'd rather spend the night alone
 
 I ain't gonna cry over you
 You're a mystery
 I ain't gonna cry over you
 You're history - history
 
 I ain't gonna cry over you
 You're a misery
 I ain't gonna cry over you
 You're history
 
 I ain't your kinda guy
 So forget about me
 Cause I ain't too shy to say what I'm thinkin' - hit it
 
 I got reckless baby
 Put you in your place
 Next time maybe re-arrange your face
 Chorus
