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 reckless 

We needed to unwind 

I guess nothin' can last forever - forever


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


It was the summer of '69


Me and my baby in '69


Heaven- Bryan Adams


Oh thinkin' about all our younger years

There was only you and me

We were young and wild and free

Now nothing can take you away from me
