Il testo della Summer of '69

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 and jodie got married
Shoulda known we'd never get far

But when i look back now
That summer seemed to last forever
And if i had the choice
Ya - 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
Spent my evenin's 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
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 reckless
We needed to unwind
I guess nothin' can last forever - forever, yeah

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 ya, wonder what went wrong

Standin' on your mama's porch
You told me that it'd last forever
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
Back in the summer of 69
It was the summer, the summer, summer of 69
