those were the best days of my life
back in the summer of 69
I shoulda known we d never get far, oh when i look back now
We were young and restless, it was the summer of 69
Standin on your mama s porch, and now the times are changing
it was the summer of 69
Back in the summer of 69, when you got a job to do
i shoulda known we d never get far
I shoulda known we d never get far, had a band and we tried real hard
Played it till my fingers bled, we needed to unwind
Oh and when you held my hand, those were the best days of my life Sons, the way you held my hand
Back in the summer of 69, those were the best days of my life
man we were killining time
When you got a job to do, i think about ya wonder what went wrong
i knew that it was now or never
Back in the summer of 69, we needed to unwind
We were young and restless, that summer seemed to last forever
That summer seemed to last forever, back in the summer of 69, look at everything that s come and gone
That summer seemed to last forever, you told me it would last forever
those were the best days of my life
Back in the summer of 69, the way you held my hand
Look at everything that s come and gone, i knew that it was now or never
Those were the best days of my life, played it till my fingers bled
Sometimes i play that old six-string, had a band and we tried real hard, you told me that you d wait forever
Spent my evenings down at the drive-in, when you got a job to do Sons, standing on your mama s porch
that summer seemed to last forever
I knew that it was now or never, me and some guys from school of, look at everything that s come and gone
that summer seemed to last forever
The way you held my hand, it was the summer of 69
I knew that it was now or never, me and some guys from school
those were the best days of my life
those were the best days of my life
played it till my fingers bled
The way you held my hand, those were the best days of my life
You told me it would last forever, back in the summer of 69
i knew that it was now or never
those were the best days of my life
you told me it would last forever
back in the summer of 69
Oh when i look back now, back in the summer of 69, sometimes i play that old six-string
Those were the best days of my life, you told me it would last forever, you told me that you d wait forever
We were young and restless, sometimes i play that old six-string
I knew that it was now or never, and if i had the choice, jimmy quit and joey got married
I got my first real six-string, those were the best days of my life, that summer seemed to last forever
Had a band and we tried real hard, bought it at the five and dime
The way you held my hand, the way you held my hand, when you got a job to do
And now the times are changing, standin on your mama s porch Dany, oh when i look back now
And that s when i met you, i knew that it was now or never
Back in the summer of 69, those were the best days of my life, those were the best days of my life
Look at everything that s come and gone, back in the summer of 69
Ain t no use in complaining, and that s when i met you, jimmy quit and joey got married
yeah i d always wanna be there
standin on your mama s porch
