Bowling For Soup - Summer Of 69 Lyrics
Got my first real six-string,Bought it at the five + 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 and Joey got married,Should'a known it would never get far.When I look back then,The summers seem to last forever,And if I had the choice,Yea, I'd always wanna be there,Those were the best days of my life.There aint no use in complainin,When ya gopt a job to do,Spent my weekends at the drive-end,And thats where I met you girl.Standin' on your momas porch,You told me that you'd wait forever,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.Yea, we were killin' time,We were young and restless,We needed to unwind,I guess nothing can last forever-forever no.And now the times are changing,Look at everything thats come and gone,There are times when I play that old six string,Think about you wander what went wrong.Standing on your momas porch, Thats right!You told me that we'd last forever,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.
