[Verse 1]
DI got my first real six string
A Bought it at the five and dime
D Played it til my fingers bled
A Was the summer of sixty nine
D Me and some guys from school
A Had a band and we tried real hard
D Jimmy quit and Jody got married
A I shoulda known we'd never get far
[Chorus]
Bm But when I Alook back now
D That summer seemed to Glast forever Bm
And if I Ahad the choice
D Ya I'd always Gwanna be there Bm
Those were the Abest days of my Dlife
[Bridge]

D There ain't no use in complainin'
A When you got a job to do
D Spent my evenin's down at the drivein
A And that's when I met you ya
[Chorus]
Bm Standin' on your Amama's porch
D You told me that you'd Gwait forever Bm
