Summer Of '69 (metal Version) Lyrics - Leo

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 

Me and some guys from school 

Had a band and we tried real hard. 

Jimmy quit, Jody got married 

I should've 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 wanna be there 

Those were the best days of my life

Ain't no use in complainin' 

When you've got a job to do 

Spent my evenings down at the drive-in 

And that's when I met you, yeah 

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. 

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 

I think about you, wonder what went wrong 

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. 

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.
