    send "Summer of '69" ringtone to your cell

    I got my first real six-string
    Bought it at the five-and-dime
    Played it till 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
    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
    Yeah, I'd always want to 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 evenings 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

    Oh yeah
    Back in the summer of '69
    Ohhh...

    Man we were killin' time
    We were young and restless
    We needed to unwind
    I guess nothin' can last forever, forever, no

    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 it would 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
    Un-huh
    It was the summer of '69, oh yeah
    Me and my baby in '69, oh

    It was the summer, the summer, summer of '69
