I got my first real six-string
Bought it at the five-and-dime
I played it till 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
The 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
 
Whoa, yeah
Back in the summer of '69
Oh...
 
INTERLUDE
 
Whoa, yeah
Back in the summer of '69
Oh...

Ain't no use in complainin'
When you got a job to do
Spent my evening'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
 
Whoa, yeah
Back in the summer of '69
Whoa, yeah
Whoa, yeah
Whoa, yeah
Oh...

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

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
 
Whoa, yeah
Back in the summer of '69
Whoa, yeah
Whoa, yeah
Whoa, yeah
Oh...
Back in the summer of '69
