Summer Of '69 sing and play along

I got my first real sixstring;

bought it at the five and dime;

played it 'til my fingers bled;

was the summer of sixtynine.

Me and some guys from school in' had a band 'ry and we tried real hard.

Jimmy quit nin's and Jody got married;

I shoulda known you, won we'd never get far.

Stand Oh, when I look back now,

that summer seemed to last forever,

and if I had the choice,

I yeah, I'd always wanna be there.

Those were the best days of my life.

Ain't no use in complain in';

when you got 'ry a that's job to do.

Spend my eve nin's down play at the drivein',

I think and that's you, won when I er met you.

Standin', on your mama's porch,

you told me that you'd wait forever.

Oh, and 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 sixtynine.

Man, we were killin' time, we were young and restless,

we needed to unwind.

I guess nothin' can last forever,

forever, no!

Back in the summer of sixtynine.

It was the summer of sixtynine.
