Summer of 69 — текст песни (Bryan Adams)

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 Jody 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 - 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 - ya
Standin` on your mama`s proch - 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 nothin` can last forever - no
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 ya wonder what went wrong

Standin` on your mama`s porch - you told me it would last forever
Oh and when you held my hand - I knew that it was ow or never - ya
Those were the best days of my life - oh ya - back in the summer of `69
Ya - me and my baby in `69

It was the summer of `69
