Summer of '06, Really

"Summer of '69" - Bryan Adams

I got my first real six string
Bought it at the five and dime
Played it till 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, Jody got married
I should have known we'd never get far
Oh but when I look back now
The summer seemed to last forever
And if I had the choice
Yeah I'd want to always be there
Those were the best days of my life
Ain't no use complaining when you got a job to do
Spent my evenings down at the drive-in
And that's when I met you
Standing 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
Back in the summer of '69
Man we were killin' time we were young and restless
We needed to unwind
I guess nothing can last forever
Forever no
And now the times are changing
Look at everything that's come and gone
Sometimes I still play that old six string
Think about you wonder what went wrong
Standing on your mama's porch you told me it would last forever
Oh the way you held my hand I knew that it was now or never
Those were the best days of my life
Back in the summer of '69
