Lyrics: Summer Of '69

Summer Of '69

Bryan Adams

I got my first real six-string

Bought it at the five-and-dime

Played 'til my fingers bled

It was summer of '69

Me and some guys from school

Had a Band and we tried real hard

Jimmy quit and Jody got married

I shualda known we'd never get far

Oh when I lock back now

That was seemes to last forever

And if I had the choice

Ya - I'd always wanna be there

Those were the best days of my life

(CHORUS)

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 a mama's porch

You told me that you'd wait forever

Oh and when you held my hand

I knew that it was no or never

Those were the best days of my life

(Chorus) Back in Summer of '69

Man we were killin' time

We were young and restless

We needed to unwind

I guess nothin' can last forever, no

And now the times are changin'

Look at everything that's come and gone

Somethimes when I play that old six-string

I think about ya wonder what went wrong

Standin' on a 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

(Chorus) Back in summer of '69
