The singer reminisces about the summer of 1969 when he was in a band with some friends from high school. They tried hard but the band did not last as Jimmy quit and Jody got married. The singer looks back fondly on that summer, which seemed to last forever, as the best time of his life spending evenings at the drive-in and falling for a girl who told him she would wait for him forever. He wonders what went wrong and thinks about the old six-string guitar from that memorable summer.
