Bowling for Soup — Summer Of 69

[Verse 1] 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 [Chorus 1] 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 But 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 [Verse 2] There 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 - ya [Chorus 2] 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 [Bridge] Man we were killin' time We were young and restless We needed to unwind I guess nothin' can last forever - forever, no... [Verse 3] 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'n wonder what went wrong [Chorus 3] 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 [Outro] Back in the summer of '69
