Summer of '69 (cover) - Bryan Adams

Tend to hum this song whenever i am down and out....surely pulls me out of the blues.....


Summer of 69

got my first real six-string

Bought it at the five-and-dime

Played 'til my fingers bledwas summer of '69

Me and some guys from school

Had a Band and we tried real hard

Jimmy quit 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 the choiceYa -

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 yeah

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



Back in Summer of '69

OH

Man 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

Somethimes 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 handI knew that it was now or never

Those were the best days of my life

Oh yeah

Back in summer of '69
