SUMMER OF 69 Standin' on your mama's porch

You told me that it'd last forever

Lyrics Oh, and when you held my hand
I knew that it was now or never
I got my first real six-string
Those were the best days of my life
Bought it at the five and dime
Oh, yeah
Played it 'til my fingers bled
Back in the summer of '69, uh-huh
Was the summer of '69
It was the summer of '69, oh, yeah
Me and some guys from school Me and my baby in '69, oh, oh
Had a band and we tried real hard
It was the summer, summer, summer of '69
Jimmy quit and Jody got married
(Yeah)
I should've 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 you got a job to do
I spent my evenings 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
Oh, yeah
Back in the summer of '69, oh

Man, we were killin' time

We were young and restless
We needed to unwind
I guess nothing can last forever
Forever, no
Yeah

And now the times are changin'

Look at everything that's come and gone
Sometimes when I play that old six-string
I think about you, wonder what went wrong
DYNAMITE
'Cause I-I-I'm in the stars tonight
So watch me bring the fire and set the night alight
Shoes on, get up in the morn'
Cup of milk, let's rock and roll
King Kong, kick the drum, rolling on like a Rolling
Stone
Sing song when I'm walking home
Jump up to the top, LeBron
Ding dong, call me on my phone
Ice tea and a game of ping pong, huh
This is getting heavy
Can you hear the bass boom? I'm ready (woo hoo)
Life is sweet as honey
Yeah, this beat cha-ching like money, huh
Disco overload, I'm into that, I'm good to go
I'm diamond, you know I glow up
Hey, so let's go
'Cause I-I-I'm in the stars tonight
So watch me bring the fire and set the night alight
(hey)
Shining through the city with a little funk and soul
So I'ma light it up like dynamite, whoa oh oh
Bring a friend, join the crowd
Whoever wanna come along
Word up, talk the talk
Just move like we off the wall
Day or night, the sky's alight
So we dance to the break of dawn
Ladies and gentlemen, I got the medicine
So you should keep ya eyes on the ball, huh
This is getting heavy
Can you hear the bass boom? I'm ready (woo hoo)
Life is sweet as honey
Yeah, this beat cha-ching like money
Disco overload, I'm into that, I'm good to go
I'm diamond, you know I glow up
Let's go
'Cause I-I-I'm in the stars tonight
So watch me bring the fire and set the night alight
(hey)
Shining through the city with a little funk and soul
So I'ma light it up like dynamite, whoa oh oh
Dy-na-na-na, na-na, na-na-na, na-na-na, life is
dynamite
Dy-na-na-na, na-na, na-na-na, na-na-na, life is

Shining through the city with a little funk and soul
