Summer Of '69 Lyrics - Bowling For Soup

[Originally by Bryan Adams] 

Got my first real six-string 

Bought it at the five-and-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 and Joey got married 

I shoulda 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

NEW SONG: Blink-182 - 'Happy Days' Lyrics 

Ain't no use in complainin 

When you got a job to do 

Spent my evenin's down at the drive-in 

And that's where i met you, girl 

Standin 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, uh-huh 

Yeah, 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 a-changin 

Look at everything that's come and gone 

Everytime when i play that old six-string 

I think about you, wonder what went wrong 

Standin on your mama's porch 

(that's right) 

you told me it would 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, uh-huh 

Me and my baby had 69, oh yeah 

Back in the summer of '69
