Huntingtons - Summer Of '69 (Bonus Track)

I got my first real six string
Bought it at the five and dime
Played it 'til my fingers bled
Was the summer of '69

Me and some guys from school
Had a band and we tried real hard
Jimmy quit, Jody 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 wanna be there
Those were the best days of my life

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

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

And now the times are changin'
Look at everything that's come and gone
Sometimes when I play that ol' six string
Think about ya, wonder what went wrong

Standin' on your mama's porch
You told me that it'd last forever
Oh and when ya held my hand
I knew that it was now or never
Those were the best days of my life
