Mxpx - Summer Of 69 lyrics

rate me

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

Me and some guys from school

Had a band and we tried real hard

Jimmy quit and joey got married

I shoulda known we'd never get far

Oh when I look back now

That summer seemed to last forever

And if I had the choice

Yeah - I'd always wanna be there

Those were the best days of my life

Ain't no use in complaining

When you got a job to do

Spent my evenings down at the drive-in

And that's when I met you

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

Back in the summer of '69

oooooooooooooooh

Man we were killining time

We were young and restless

We needed to unwind

I guess nothin' can last forever - forever, no

And now the times are changing

Look at everything that's come and gone

Sometimes I play that old six-string

I think about ya wonder what went wrong

Standing 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

oaohho

It was the summer of 69
