DJ Ötzi - Summer of '69 Lyrics

Whoa!

I got my first real six-string
Bought it at the five-and-dime
Played it 'til my fingers bled
It was the summer of '69
Me and some guys from school
Had a band and we tried real hard
Jimmy quit and Judy got married
Shoulda 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 want to be there
Those were the best days of my life

Whoa yeah
Back in the summer of '69
Whoa
Whoa yeah
Back in the summer of '69
Whoa

Ain't no use in complainin'
When you got a job to do
Spent my evenings down at the drive-in
And that's when I met you, yeah
Standin' on 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

Whoa yeah
Back in the summer of '69
Whoa yeah (whoa yeah)
Whoa yeah (whoa yeah)
Whoa yeah (whoa yeah)
Whoa

Man, we were killin' time
We were young and restless
We needed to unwind
I guess nothin' can last forever, forever, no

Yeah

Whoa yeah
(In the summer of '69)
(Whoa yeah)
Back in the summer of '69
Whoa yeah
Back in the summer of '69
