i got my first real six-string
bought it at the five-and-dime
played it till 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 jody got married
i 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
ya - 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
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
man we were killin’ time
we were young and restless
we needed to unwind
i guess nothin’ can last forever - forever, no
and now the times are changin’
look at everything that’s come and gone
sometimes 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 the way 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
back in the summer of ’69
back in the summer of ’69
我的第一把六弦吉他
购自路边的廉价商店
一直弹到手指流血
那是69年的夏天
我和一些学校里的家伙
组了个乐队拼命练
中途吉米退出,乔迪结婚
我该知道我们走不了多远
喔!但现在回想起来
那似乎是个永不结束的夏天
如果我还能有选择
我希望一直停留在那里
那日子在我生命中最值得留恋
抱怨也沒什么用
那时你有个工作干
晚上我在汽车影院消磨时间
就在那时和你遇见
站在你妈妈家门前
你说会等我到永远
喔!当你握住我的手
我知道那就是所谓勿失良缘
那日子在我生命中最值得留恋
天啊!我们有消磨不完的时间
我们年轻且不知疲倦
我们都需要解脱
我想沒有任何日子可以持续到永远
时代一直在改变
旁观万事往复循环
有时当我弹着那把破吉他
总会想着到底哪里出了麻烦
站在你妈妈家门前
你说我们的爱会直到永远
喔!那种你紧握我的手的样子
我知道那就是所谓勿失良缘
那日子在我生命中最值得留恋
真想回到69年的夏天
真想回到69年的夏天
真想回到69年的夏天
