Woah I got my first real six string Bought it at the five and dime Played it ´til my fingers bled It was summer of ´69 Me and some guys from school Had a band and we tried real hard Jimmy quit and Judy got married I shoulda known we´d never get far. Oh, when I look back now That 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. Woah, yeah, Back in the summer of ´69, Woah Woah, yeah, Back in the summer of ´69, Woah. Ain´t no use in complainin´ When you got a job to do Spent my evenings down at the drive in 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. Woah, yeah, Back in the summer of ´69, Woah, yeah, Woah, yeah, Woah, yeah, Woah. Man we were killin´ time We were young and restless We needed to unwind, I guess nothing can last forever, Forever, no Yeah Woah, yeah In the summer of ´69, Woah, yeah Back in the summer of ´69, Woah, yeah, Back in the summer of ´69.
