I got my first real six string

Bought it at the five & dime

Played it til my fingers bled

Was the summer of sixty nine

Me and some guys from school

Had a band and we tried real hard

Jimmy quit and Jody got married

Should've known we'd never get far

Those were the best days of my life

Back in the summer of 'sixty nine
