Bryan Adams - Summer of 69

LYRIC

I got my first real six-string
bought it at the five and dime
played it till my fingers bled
it 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 a know we´d never get far.

Oh when i look back now
that summer seemed to last forever
and if i had the choice
ya 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 
spent my evenin´s down at the drive in
and what´s when i met you 
standin´ on your mama´s porch
you told me it would 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.
Back in the summer of 69

Man we were killin´ time 
we where young and reckless
we needed to unwind
i guess nothin´ can last forever forever.

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 ya wonder what went wrong
standin´ on your mama´s porch
you told me it would last forever
oh the way 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 69...
It was the summer of 69.
