Summer of 69 (Classic Version)

I got my first real six-string Bought it at the Five and Dime Played it 'til my fingers bled Was the summer of '69 Me and some guys from school Had a band and we tried real hard Jimmy quit, Jody got married Should've 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 Hey! Ain't no use in complainin' When you got a job to do Spent my evenings down at the drive-in And that's when I met you, yeah 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 Oh, yeah Back in the summer of '69, oh Man, we were killin' time We were young and restless We needed to unwind I guess nothing can last forever Forever, no! Yeah! Yeah! And now the times are changin' Look at everything that's come and gone Sometimes when I play that old six-string Think about you, wonder what went wrong Standin' on your mama's porch You told me that it'd last forever Oh, and when you held my hand I knew that it was now or never Those were the best days of my life Oh, yeah Back in the summer of '69, uh-huh It was the summer of '69, oh, yeah Me and my baby in a '69, oh, oh It was the summer, summer, summer of '69 Yeah --- Summer of 69 (Classic Version) - Bryan Adams
