EBought it at the five-and-dime
APlayed it till my fingers bled
EWas the summer of ‘69
Band enters
AMe and some guys from school
EHad a band and we tried real hard
AJimmy quit, Jody got married
EI shoulda known we’d never get far

AThe summer seemed to Dlast forever
F#mAnd if I Ehad the choice
AYeah I’d always Dwanna be there
Hang on “best” (every time)
F#mThose were the Ebest days of my life

AAin’t no use in complainin’
EWhen you got a job to do
ASpent my evenings down at the drive-in
EAnd that’s when I met you, yeah

ELook at everything that’s come and gone
ASometimes when I play that old six-string
EI think about you and what went wrong
F#mStandin’ on your Emama’s porch
AYou told me that it’d Dlast forever
