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 The summer seemed to last forever And if I had a choice Yeah, I'd always wanna be there Those were the best days of my life
Ain't no use in complainin' When you've got a job to do I spent my weekends down at the drive in And that's when I met you
Standin' on your mama's porch You told me it would last forever Oh, if I had a choice I know, I just wanna be there Those were the best days of my life Oh yeah, back in the summer of '69
Man we were just killin' time We were young and restless We needed to unwind I guess nothin' can last forever, forever no
And now those times are changin' Look at everything that's come and gone Sometimes when I play that old six-string I think about you wonder what went wrong
Standin' on your mama's porch You told me you would wait forever Oh when you held my hand I knew that it was now or never Those were the best days of my life Those were the best days of my life Oh, the best days of my life Oh yeah, the best days of my life That was the summer of '69Teksty umieszczone na naszej stronie są własnością wytwórni, wykonawców, osób mających do nich prawa.
