summer of 69

Buckcherry

I got my first real six-string
Bought it at the five and 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 Jody got married
I should ve known we d never get far

But when I look back now
That 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

Ain t no use in complainin
When you got a job to do
I spent my evenings 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, oh, oh

Man, we were killin time
We were young and restless
We needed to unwind
I guess nothing can last forever
Forever, no

Yeah

And now the times are changin
Look at everything that s come and gone
Sometimes when I play my old six-string
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, oh, yeah
Me and my baby in 69, oh

Back in the summer of 69, uh-huh
Me and my baby in 69
It was the summer of 69
