Summer of 69 (Classic Version)

Summer of 69 (Classic Version) (Classic Version) - Bryan Adams

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

Ma and some guys from school

Had a band and we tried real hard

Jimmy quit and Jody got married

I shoulda know we'd never get far

But when I look back now

That Summer seemed to last forever

And if I had a choice

Ya I'd always wanna be there

Those were the best days of my life

Ain't no use in complainin'

When you've got a job to do

Spent my evenin's down at the drive-in

And that's when I met you ya

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

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 that old six-string

I think about ya 'n 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 a 69

Oh oh

It was the Summer

Sweet sweet Summer time

It was the Summer of 69
