Summer Of 69

Summer of '69　　　　



I got my first real six-string

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 Jody 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

Ya - I'd always wanna be there

Those were the best days of my life



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



Standing 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 killing time

We were young and restless

We needed to unwind

I guess nothing can last forever - forever, no



And now the times are changing

Look at everything that's come and gone

Sometimes when 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

Oh 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 	





69年的夏天　　　　



我得到我的第一把吉他

花了五塊錢外加一角硬幣

一直彈到手指流血

那是69年的夏天



我和一些學校裡的傢伙

組了個團我們死命練

吉米走，茱蒂跑去嫁人

我早該知道我們撐不了多久

喔！但現在回想起來

那年夏天似乎永不結束

如果我還能有選擇

我會一直待在那裡

那是我生命中最棒的日子



抱怨沒什麼用

當你找了個工作做

我利用晚上開車送貨

就在那時遇見了妳



站在妳媽媽家門口

妳說會永遠等著我

喔！當妳握住我的手

我知道再不把握就沒機會了

那真是我生命中最棒的日子



回到69年的夏天吧！



天啊！我們有消磨不完的時間

我們年輕而且永不覺得累

沒有人可以管得住我們

我猜沒有任何事物可以持續到永遠



時代一直在改變

看著每件事情來來去去

有時當我彈著那把破吉他

總會想著到底那裡出錯了



站在妳媽媽家門口

妳說我們的愛會直到永遠

喔！那種妳緊握我的手的樣子

我知道再不把握就沒機會了

那真是我生命中最棒的日子



回到69年的夏天吧！
