[00:05.00]I got my first real six-string
[00:08.00]Bought it at the five-and-dime
[00:12.00]Played it till my fingers bled
[00:15.00][02:52.00][03:10.00]It was the summer of ''69
[00:18.00]Me and some guys from school
[00:22.00]Had a band and we tried real hard
[00:25.00]Jimmy quit and Jody got married
[00:29.00]I shoulda known we''d never get far
[00:33.00]Oh when I look back now
[00:36.00]That summer seemed to last forever
[00:39.00]And if I had the choice
[00:43.00]Yeah - I''d always wanna be there
[00:46.00]Those were the best days of my life
[00:57.00]Ain''t no use in complainin''
[01:00.00]When you got a job to do
[01:03.00]Spent my evenin''s down at the drive-in
[01:08.00]And that''s when I met you
[01:10.00][02:23.00]Standin'' on your mama''s porch
[01:14.00]You told me that you''d wait forever
[02:26.00]You told me that it''d last forever
[01:17.00][02:30.00]Oh and when you held my hand
[01:21.00][02:33.00]I knew that it was now or never
[01:24.00][02:37.00]Those were the best days of my life
[01:30.00][02:43.00][02:56.00]Oh yeah
[01:33.00][02:45.00]Back in the summer of ''69
[01:37.00][02:50.00][03:04.00]Ohhh
[01:41.00]Man we were killin'' time
[01:44.00]We were young and restless
[01:46.00]We needed to unwind
[01:49.00]I guess nothin'' can last forever - forever, no
[01:58.00][03:18.00]Yeah
[02:10.00]And now the times are changin''
[02:13.00]Look at everything that''s come and gone
[02:16.00]Sometimes when I play that old six-string
