Summer of '69 [Live In Lisbon]

I got my first real six-string
Bought it at the five and dime
Played it 'til 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 Jody got married
I 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

Ain't no use in complainin'
When you got a job to do
I spent my evenings down at the drive-in
And that's when I met you, yeah

Standin' on your mama's porch
You told me that you'd wait forever
And when you held my hand
I knew that it was now or never
Those were the best days of my life
Oh, yeah - it was the summer of 69

Man, we were killin' time
We were young and restless
We needed to unwind
I guess nothing can last forever

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

Standin' on your mama's porch
You told me that you’d wait forever
And when you held my hand
I knew that it was now or never
Those were the best days of my life
Oh, yeah - it was the summer of 69
Just me and my baby in 69
