Lyrics
|
I
|
got
|
my
|
first
|
real
|
six-string
|
Bought
|
it
|
at
|
the
|
five
|
and
|
dime
|
Played
|
it
|
'til
|
my
|
fingers
|
bled
|
Was
|
the
|
summer
|
of
|
'69
|
Me
|
and
|
some
|
guys
|
from
|
school
|
Had
|
a
|
band
|
and
|
we
|
tried
|
real
|
hard
|
|
Lyrics
|
Jimmy
|
quit
|
and
|
Jody
|
got
|
married
|
I
|
should've
|
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
|
|
Lyrics
|
were
|
the
|
best
|
days
|
of
|
my
|
life
|
Ain't
|
no
|
use
|
in
|
complainin'
|
When
|
you
|
got
|
a
|
job
|
to
|
do
|
I
|
spent
|
my
|
evenings
|
down
|
at
|
the
|
drive-in
|
And
|
that's
|
when
|
I
|
met
|
you,
|
yeah!
|
Standin'
|
on
|
your
|
mama's
|
|
Lyrics
|
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
|
|
Lyrics
|
'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
|
|
Lyrics
|
Sometimes
|
when
|
I
|
play
|
that
|
old
|
six-string
|
I
|
think
|
about
|
you,
|
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
|
|
Lyrics
|
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
|
'69,
|
oh,
|
oh
|
|
