Bryan Adams - Summer Of '69 (Lyrics)

Summer Of '69

I got my first real six string ? bought is 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 an Jody got married ? shoulda known we 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 complaining ? when ya gotta job to do
Spent my evenings down at the drive in ? and that?s when I met you ? ya
Standing on your mamma?s porch ? you told me you?d wait forever
And when I held your hand ? I knew it was now or never
Those where the best days of my life ? back in the summer of ?69


Man we were killin? time
We were young and reckless ? we needed to unwind
I guess nothing can last forever?


And now the times are changin?
Look at everything that?s com and gone
Sometimes when I play my old six string
I think about you wonder what went wrong
Standing on your mamma?s porch ? you told me that it?d last forever
And when you held my hand ? I knew it was now or never
Those where the best days of my life ? back in the summer of ?69
