Mxpx - Summer of 69 lyrics

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 and joey got married i shoulda 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 back in the summer of '69 ain't no use in complaining when you got a job to do spent my evenings down at the drive-in and that's when i met you 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 back in the summer of '69 man we were k**ining time we were young and restless we needed to unwind i guess nothin' can last forever - forever, no and now the times are changing look at everything that's come and gone sometimes i play that old six-string i think about ya wonder what went wrong standing on your mama's porch you told me it would last forever 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
