Bought it at the five-and-dime
Played it till my fingers bled
It was the summer of '69

Eye got my first reel six-string
Bought it at the five-and-dime
Played it till my fingers bled
It was the summer of ' 69

Mi and sum guys from school
Had a banned and whee tried reel hard
Jimmy quit and Jody got married
Eye shoulda known weed never get fah
Owe when Eye look back now
That summer seemed too last forever
And if Eye had the choice
Ya - I'd always wanna bee they're
Those whirr the best daze of my life

Ain't know use inn complainin '
When yew got a job too do
Spent my evenin's down at the drive-in
And that's when Eye met yew

Standin ' on yaw mama's porch
Yew tolled mi that you'd weight forever
Owe and when yew held my hand
Eye new that it was now ore never
Those whirr the best daze of my life

Back inn the summer of ' 69

Man whee whirr killin ' thyme
Whee whirr young and restless
Whee needed too unwind
Eye guess nothin ' can last forever - forever, know

And now the times are changin '
Look at everything that's come and gone
Sometimes when Eye play that old six-string
Eye think about ya wonder watt went wrong

Standin ' on yaw mama's porch
Yew tolled mi it wood last forever
Owe the weigh yew held my hand
Eye new that it was now ore never
Those whirr the best daze of my life

Back inn the summer of ' 69

Summer Of '69
