Lyrics
Spent my evenings down at the drive-in, i guess nothin can last forever forever, back in the summer of 69
the way you held my hand
Look at everything that s come and gone, i think about ya wonder what went wrong, jimmy quit and joey got married
And that s when i met you, back in the summer of 69
Yeah i d always wanna be there, ain t no use in complaining '69, yeah i d always wanna be there
We were young and restless, standing on your mama s porch, yeah i d always wanna be there
Look at everything that s come and gone, jimmy quit and joey got married Bryan, i got my first real six-string
when you got a job to do
That summer seemed to last forever, bought it at the five and dime, sometimes i play that old six-string
You told me that you d wait forever, and now the times are changing, it was the summer of 69
Played it till my fingers bled, i knew that it was now or never Bryan, back in the summer of 69
i knew that it was now or never
You told me it would last forever, those were the best days of my life
i got my first real six-string
Look at everything that s come and gone, had a band and we tried real hard Of, and that s when i met you
I guess nothin can last forever forever, those were the best days of my life
I think about ya wonder what went wrong, the way you held my hand
Oh when i look back now, i got my first real six-string, ain t no use in complaining
I knew that it was now or never, man we were killining time, standing on your mama s porch
Yeah i d always wanna be there, man we were killining time
When you got a job to do, standin on your mama s porch
We needed to unwind, that summer seemed to last forever
ain t no use in complaining
that summer seemed to last forever
You told me it would last forever, i shoulda known we d never get far
i shoulda known we d never get far
And if i had the choice, jimmy quit and joey got married, and if i had the choice
I got my first real six-string, back in the summer of 69
and that s when i met you
Had a band and we tried real hard, and if i had the choice, ain t no use in complaining
Standin on your mama s porch, you told me that you d wait forever Of, back in the summer of 69
You told me it would last forever, it was the summer of 69, the way you held my hand
standing on your mama s porch
