Summer of '69 / Bryan Adams (1984) I got my first real six-string Bought it at the five-and-dime Played it 'til 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, Jody got married 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..
