hier heb je de songtekst, veel plezier!

Couplet:
I got my first real six-string, bought it at the five and dime
Played it 'til my fingers bled, it 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 should've known we'd never get far


Refrein:
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


Couplet:
Ain't no use in complainin' when you got a job to do
Spent my evenings down at the drive in and that's when I met you, yeah


Refrein:
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, oh


Bridge:
Man, we were killin' time, we were young and restless, we needed to unwind
I guess nothing can last forever, forever, no


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


Refrein:
Standin' 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, uh-huh
It was the summer of '69, oh, yeah
Me and my baby in '69, oh, oh
It was the summer, summer, summer of '69 (Yeah)
