Letra de Summer Of '69
I got my first real six string,
Bought it at the Five and Dime,
Played it 'til my fingers bled,
Was the summer of '69.
Me and some guys from school,
Had a band and we tried real hard,
Jimmy quit, Jody got married,
I should've 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 want to be there,
Those were the best days of my life.
Ain't no use in complainin',
When you got a job to do,
Spent my evenin's 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 - Oh yeah,
Back in the summer of '69 - Ohh.
Man, we were killin' time,
We were young and restless,
We needed to unwind,
I guess nothin' can last forever, forever, no.
And now the times are changin',
Look at everything that's come and gone,
Sometimes when I play that old six string,
I think about you, wonder what went wrong.
Standin' on your mama's porch,
You told me that it'd last forever,
Oh and when you held my hand,
I knew that it was now or never,
Those were the best days of my life - Oh yeah,
Back in the summer of '69 - Uh huh,
It was the summer of '69 - Ohh yeah,
Me and my baby in '69 - Ohhh,
It was the summer,
Summer, the summer of '69 - Hey
Bought it at the Five and Dime,
Played it 'til my fingers bled,
Was the summer of '69.
Me and some guys from school,
Had a band and we tried real hard,
Jimmy quit, Jody got married,
I should've 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 want to be there,
Those were the best days of my life.
Ain't no use in complainin',
When you got a job to do,
Spent my evenin's 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 - Oh yeah,
Back in the summer of '69 - Ohh.
Man, we were killin' time,
We were young and restless,
We needed to unwind,
I guess nothin' can last forever, forever, no.
And now the times are changin',
Look at everything that's come and gone,
Sometimes when I play that old six string,
I think about you, wonder what went wrong.
Standin' on your mama's porch,
You told me that it'd last forever,
Oh and when you held my hand,

Those were the best days of my life - Oh yeah,
Back in the summer of '69 - Uh huh,
It was the summer of '69 - Ohh yeah,
Me and my baby in '69 - Ohhh,
It was the summer,
Summer, the summer of '69 - Hey
