Karaoké Summer of '69 Bowling for Soup

Got my first real six string

Bought it at the five and dime

Played it 'till my fingers bled

Was the summer of sixty-nine

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

But 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

There ain't no use in complainin' when you got a job to do

Spent the weekends down at the drive-in

And that's when I met you, girl

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

Oh yeah

Back in the summer of sixty-nine

Oh

Yeah, we were killin' time

We were young and restless

We needed to unwind

I guess nothin' can last forever forever, no

Yeah

And now the times are changin'

Look at everything that's come and gone

Every times when I play that old six string

I think about you wonder what went wrong

Standin' on your mama's porch

That's right

You told me that would last forever

Oh, and when you held my hand

I knew that it was now or never

Those were the best days of my life

Oh yeah

Back in the summer of sixty-nine

Oh

Me and my baby in sixty-nine

Oh yeah

Back in the summer of sixty-nine

Oh yeah
