Mxpx Summer 69 Lyrics

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 joey got married
I shoulda known wed never get far
Oh when I look back now
That summer seemed to last forever
And if I had the choice
Yeah - Id always wanna be there
Those were the best days of my life
Back in the summer of 69
Aint no use in complaining
When you got a job to do
Spent my evenings down at the drive-in
And thats when I met you
Standin on your mamas porch
You told me that youd 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
Man we were killining time
We were young and restless
We needed to unwind
I guess nothin can last forever - forever, no
And now the times are changing
Look at everything thats come and gone
Sometimes I play that old six-string
I think about ya wonder what went wrong
Standing on your mamas porch
You told me it would last forever
The way 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
