I got my first real six string
Bought it at the five and dime
Played it til my fingers bled
Was the summer of ´69

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

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 - forever, no...

Back in the summer of ´69
Back in the summer of ´69

Back in the summer of ´69
Back in the summer of ´69
