Summer Of '69

 Bowling for Soup

 I got my first real six-string

 Bought it at the five-and-dime

 Played it til 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 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

 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

 Back in the summer of '69
