“Summer Of 69 Song Lyrics”

Song: Summer Of 69
By: Bryan Adams

I got my first real six string
Bought it at the five and dime
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 Jodie got married
I should have 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

Ain’t no use in complainin’
When you got a job to do
Spent my evenin’s down at the drivein
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

Back in the summer of 69, ooo

Man we were killin’ time
We were young and reckless
We needed to unwind
I guess nothin’ can last, (forever) * 2 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 you, wonder what went wrong

Standin’ on your mama’s porch
You told me it would last forever
Oh 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
Ahaan, it was the summer, the summer of 69
Oh yeah, me and my band back in 69
Ooo it was thge summer, summer of 69.  😎
