Bryan Adams - Summer Of '69

I got my first real six-string Bought it at the five-and-dime Played it &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&known we&never get far Oh, when I look back now That summer seemed to last forever And if I had the choice Yeah, I&always wanna be there Those were the best days of my life Ain&no use in complainin' When you&got a job to do Spent my evenings down at the drive-in And that&when I met you, yeah Standin&on your mama&porch You told me that you&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 &oh. Man we were killin&time We were young and restless We needed to unwind I guess nothin&can last forever, forever, no! yeah! And now the times are changin' Look at everything that&come and gone Sometimes when I play that old six-string I think about you, wonder what went wrong Standin&on your mama&porch You told me that it&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 &oh. It was the summer of &oh, yeah. Me and my baby in &oh. It was the summer, the summer, the summer of &yeah.
