| I got my first real six-string |
|
|
Bought it at a five-and-dime |
|
|
Played it til my fingers bled |
|
|
|
|
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 |
|
|
|
| |
that summer seemed to last forever |
|
|
| |
Yeah I’d always wanna be there |
|
| |
Those were the best days of my life |
|
|
|
Ain’t no use in complainin’ |
|
|
|
Spent my evenings down at the drive-in |
|
|
and that’s where I met you |
|
|
| |
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 the summer of ’69 |
|
|
|
|
we were young and restless we needed to unwind |
|
|
I guess nothin’ can last forever- forever; no |
|
|
|
|
|
|
And now the times are changing |
|
|
look at everything thats 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 it would 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. |
