SUMMER OF '69 - BRYAN ADAMS

VERSE 1:
I GOT MY FIRST REAL SIX-STRING
BOUGHT IT AT THE FIVE-AND-DIME
PLAYED IT 'TIL MY FINGERS BLED
WAS THE SUMMER OF SIXTY-NINE
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

REFRAIN 1:
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

VERSE 2:
HEY!
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

REFRAIN 2:
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

CHORUS 1:
OH YEAH
BACK IN THE SUMMER OF SIXTY-NINE
OHHH

BRIDGE:
MAN WE WERE KILLIN' TIME
WE WERE YOUNG AND RESTLESS
WE NEEDED TO UNWIND
I GUESS NOTHIN' CAN LAST FOREVER
FOREVER, NO
YEAH

VERSE 3:
AND NOW THE TIMES ARE CHANGIN'
LOOK AT EVERYTHING THAT'S COME AND GONE
SOMETIMES WHEN I PLAY THAT OLD SIX-STRING
THINK ABOUT YA WONDER WHAT WENT WRONG

REFRAIN 3:
STANDIN' ON YOUR MAMA'S PORCH
YOU TOLD ME IT'D LAST FOREVER
OH THE WAY YOU HELD MY HAND
I KNEW THAT IT WAS NOW OR NEVER
THOSE WERE THE BEST DAYS OF MY LIFE

CHORUS 2:
OH YEAH
BACK IN THE SUMMER OF SIXTY-NINE
UH HUH
IT WAS THE SUMMER OF SIXTY-NINE
OH YEAH
ME AND BABY IN SIXTY-NINE
OHHHHH, WOO
IT WAS SUMMER, SUMMER, SUMMER OF SIXTY-NINE
