[Intro]
I got my first real six-string
Bought it at the five and dime
Played it 'til my fingers bled
It was the summer of '69
[Verse 1]
Me and some guys from school, yeah
Had a band and we tried real hard
Jimmy quit, Jody got married
Should've known we'd never get far
[Chorus]
But when I look back now
The 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
[Verse 2]
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
[Chorus]
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
I got my first real six-string
Bought it at the five and dime
Played it 'til my fingers bled
It was the summer of '69
[Verse 1]
Me and some guys from school, yeah
Had a band and we tried real hard
Jimmy quit, Jody got married
Should've known we'd never get far
[Chorus]
But when I look back now
The 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
[Verse 2]
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
[Chorus]
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
