Summer of '69 (Bryan Adams cover) Lyrics
Bought it at the five and dime
Played it till my fingers bled
It was the summer of '69
Me and some guys from school
Had a band and we tried real hard
Jimmy quit and Joey got married
I 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
Back in the summer of '69
Ain't no use in complaining
When you got a job to do
Spent my evenings down at the drive-in
And that's when I met you
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
Back in the summer of '69
Man we were killining time
We were young and restless
We needed to unwind
I guess nothin' can last forever - forever, no
And now the times are changing
Look at everything that's come and gone
Sometimes I play that old six-string
I think about ya wonder what went wrong
Standing on your mama's porch
You told me it would last forever
The way you held my hand
I knew that it was now or never
Those were the best days of my life
Back in the summer of '69
This song is good, but I like the original better. The one by Bryan Adams. Everybody looks back to those crazy days.
i love this song...it sounds soooo good when Mike is singing it. dont you just heart this band?? i do.its about someone looking back on his life and wanting to be there still. love it!!
whoever posted these lyrics is a shmutz. this is not an MXPX song. i got no beef with MXPX, and many times i like punk covers (me first and the gimme gimme's rock) but the original is 100 times better. sorry dawg. anyways, bryan adams is awesome, and this song is a true classic, laced with nostalgia. biya.
i think this song is the best! i love mxpx and when i go on the computer and crap .. this is the first song i put on! even if it is a cover, this is song should be under mxpx because they did a rad job!
Bryan Adams version is definitely better...no one could ever beat Bryan Adams...but this is a great cover
this is an awesome cover:)
one of my peeves on this site is when people put lyrics to covers in a band's section. anyway. bryan adams was only ten in 1969. wtf?!
yeah the original version is better
the original song is incredible and the cover is just as great. bryan adams was incredible and mxpx has done a rad job with this song.
PUNX NOT DEAD
I like the original versioni better, and then BFS's cover better than this one. Somehow it sounds like these guys (guy? I dont' know much about MxPx) are trying to force the lyrics out of them to the beat. Not a great singing style... BFS and of course BA actually seem like they mean what they're singing.
