Brian Adams Summer of '69 lyrics

Brian Adams
Best of Me
Summer of '69
I got my first real six string
Baught it at the five n 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 Jody got married
I should have known we'd never get far

Oh when I look back now
The 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

Hey

Aint no use in complaining
When you gotta 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

Oh yeah

Back in the summer of '69
Oh

Man we were killing time
We were young and restless
We needed to unwind
I guess nothing can last forever, forever, no

Yeah

And now the times are changing
Look at everything that's come and gone
Sometimes when I play that old six string
Think about you, wonder what went wrong

Standing 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
huh
It was the summer of '69
Oh yeah
Me and my baby in '69
Oh
It was the summer, the summer, the summer of '69...
Yeah
