Summer Of 69

I got my first real six-string

Bought it at the Five and Dime

Played it 'til my fingers bled

I t 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

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 were the best days of my life

Yeah!

Oh, yeah!

Back in the summer of '69

Oh, yeah!

We're gonna party like it's

We're gonna party like it's

We're gonna party like it's, oh!

Let me see you party, party, party, party...

Like it's 1969, let's go!

Yeah!

Let's go!

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, yeah

Standing 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

Oh, yeah, oh

Man, we were killing time

We were young and restless

We needed to unwind

I guess nothing can last forever, forever

No!

We're gonna party like it's

We're gonna party like it's

We're gonna party like it's, oh!

Let me see you party, party, party, party... (summer of '69)

Like it's 1969, let's go!

Back in the summer of '69

Oh, yeah!

Man, my baby in '69

Summer of '69
