Summer of '69
Bryan Adams
I got my first real six-string
Played it 'til my fingers bled
Me and some guys from school
Jimmy quit, Jody got married
Played it 'til my fingers bled
Me and some guys from school
Jimmy quit, Jody got married
Bought it at the five-and-dime
Was the summer of '69
Had a band and we tried real hard
I should've known we'd never get far
Was the summer of '69
Had a band and we tried real hard
I should've known we'd never get far
Chorus
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
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'
Spent my evenings down at the drive-in
Spent my evenings down at the drive-in
When you've got a job to do
And that's when I met you yeah
And that's when I met you yeah
Chorus
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
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
Interlude:
Man we were killin’ time
We were young and restless - We needed to unwind
I guess nothin’ can last forever, forever, no! yeah!
And now the times are changin'
Sometimes when I play that old six-string
Sometimes when I play that old six-string
Look at everything that's come and gone
I think about you wonder what went wrong
I think about you wonder what went wrong
Chorus
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, oh
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
It was the summer of ‘69, oh yeah
Me and my baby in ‘69, oh
It was the summer, the summer, the summer of ‘69, yeah
