Memories..
A song that I want to learn someday on the guitar, and seems to fit so well for the feeling.
Summer of 69 - Bryan Adams
I got my first real six-string
Bought it at the five-and-dime
Played until my fingers bled
Was the summer of '69
Me and some guys from school
Had a band and we tried real hard
Jimmy quit, Jodie got married
Shoulda known we'd never get far
Oh and when I look back now
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.
Ain't no use in complainin'
When you've got a job to do
Spent my evenings 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 is 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 reckless
And needed to unwind
I guess nothin' can last forever, yeah
And now the times are changin'
Look at everything that's come and gone
Sometimes when I play my old six-string
Think about you, wonder what went wrong
Standin' on your mama's porch
You told me that it would last forever
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.
