SUMMER OF 69

Music & lyrics by Bryan Adams 1984

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 

 

I got my first real six-string,

Bought it at the five-and-dime,

Played it till my fingers bleed,

was the summer of 69.

 

Me and some guys from school,

Had a band and we tried real hard,

Jimmy quit, and Jody got married,

I should've known,we'd never get far.

 

O when I look back now,

The summer seemed to last forever,

And if I had a choice,

Yeah- I'd always wanna be there.

Those were the best days of my life.

 

Ain't no use in complaining,

When you got a job to do.

Spent my evenings down at the drive-in,

And that's when I met you yeah.

Standing on your mama's 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.

O yeah, back in the summer of 69.

 

Man we were killing time,

we were young and restless,

we needed to unwind.

 

I guess nothing can last forever,forever, ohh.

 

Ye.

 

And now the times are changing,

look at everything that's come and gone.

Sometimes when I play that old six-string,

think about you- wonder what went wrong.

 

Standing on your mama's porch,

you told me that it'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.
