Karaoké Summer of ‘69 (Little More Country Sessions) Max Jackson

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 sixty-nine

Me and some guys from school had a band and we tried real hard

Jimmy quit and Jody got married

I should've 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

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

Spent my evenings down at the drive-in

And that's where 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 and I knew that it was now or never

Those were the best days of my life

Oh, yeah

The summer of sixty-nine

Hmm

Man, we were killin' time

We were young and restless

We needed to unwind

I guess nothing can last forever forever, no

And still now the times are changin'

Look at everything that's come and gone

And still when I play this old six-string

I think about you wonder what went wrong

Standin' on your mama's porch

You told me that you'd 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

Hmm

Those were the best days of my life
