[00:05.00] I got my first real six-string
[00:08.29] Bought it at the five and dime
[00:10.62] Played it 'til my fingers bled
[00:14.28] Was the summer of '69
[00:17.45] Me and some guys from school
[00:21.12] Had a band and we tried real hard
[00:24.71] Jimmy quit and Jody got married
[00:28.22] I should've known we'd never get far
[00:31.79] Oh, when I look back now
[00:34.98] That summer seemed to last forever
[00:38.65] And if I had the choice
[00:41.95] Yeah, I'd always wanna be there
[00:45.41] Those were the best days of my life
[00:50.24] 
[00:56.75] Ain't no use in complainin'
[00:59.30] When you got a job to do
[01:02.99] I spent my evenings down at the drive-in
[01:06.17] And that's when I met you, yeah!
[01:09.99] Standin' on your mama's porch
[01:13.14] You told me that you'd wait forever
[01:16.78] Oh, and when you held my hand
[01:19.82] I knew that it was now or never
[01:23.36] Those were the best days of my life
[01:27.81] 
[01:30.36] Oh, yeah
[01:32.71] Back in the summer of '69, oh
[01:40.66] Man, we were killin' time
[01:44.15] We were young and restless
[01:45.64] We needed to unwind
[01:47.78] I guess nothing can last forever
[01:52.14] Forever, no
[01:58.19] Yeah
[02:01.16] 
[02:08.22] And now the times are changin'
[02:11.94] Look at everything that's come and gone
[02:15.48] Sometimes when I play that old six-string
[02:19.05] I think about you, wonder what went wrong
[02:22.34] Standin' on your mama's porch
[02:25.63] You told me that it'd last forever
[02:29.28] Oh, and when you held my hand
[02:32.75] I knew that it was now or never
[02:36.25] Those were the best days of my life
[02:42.37] Oh, yeah
[02:45.22] Back in the summer of '69, uh-huh
[02:52.01] It was the summer of '69, oh, yeah
[02:59.01] Me and my baby in '69, oh, oh
[03:05.80] 
[03:10.94] It was the summer, summer, summer of '69
[03:17.16] (Yeah)
[03:17.75]
