Summer Of '69 Lyrics - Singles - Brian Adams

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 

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 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 Ohhhhh 

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' 

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 that it 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 

Ohh yeeaahh.... Back in the summer of '69 

uhh huh...it was the summer of 69 

Ohhh Yeeaahh....me and my baby in 69 

Ohhhhhhhhhhhhh...ho.... 

it was the summer....the summer, the summer of 69 

YEAH
