punk cover nofx Lyrics

I got my first real six string,
Bought it 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 tryed real hard
Jimmy quit, and Jodie got married,
I shoulda known, we'd never get far
But when I look back now,
The summer seemed to last forever,
Yeah 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 complaining,
When ya gotta job to do,
Spent my evening's down at the drive in,
And thats where i met you,

Standing on your daddy'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

We were killing time,
We were young and restless and needed to unwind
I guess nothing can last forever, forever, no

And now the times are changing,
Look at everything that's come and gone,
Sometimes when I play my old six string,
I think about you wonder what went wrong,

Standing on your daddy's porch
You told me that you'd wait forever,
Oh, and 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 (X3)
