Bryan Adams - Summer Of '69

I got my first real six-string
Bought it at the five-and-dime
Played 'til my fingers bled
It was summer of '69

Me and some guys from school
Had a Band and we tried real hard
Jimmy quit and Jody got married
I shualda known we'd never get far

Oh when I lock back now
That was seemes to last forever
And if I had the choice
Ya - I'd always wanna be there
Those were the best days of my life

(CHORUS)

Ain't no use in complainin'
When you got a job to do
Spent my evenin's down at the drive in
And that's when I met you

Standin on a mama's porch
You told me that you'd wait forever
Oh and when you held my hand
I knew that it was no or never
Those were the best days of my life

(Chorus) Back in Summer of '69

Man we were killin' time
We were young and restless
We needed to unwind
I guess nothin' can last forever, no

And now the times are changin'
Look at everything that's come and gone
Somethimes when I play that old six-string
I think about ya wonder what went wrong

Standin' on a 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

Bryan Adams - Summer Of '69

Dostal som svoju prvú skutočnú 6-strunovú
Stála 5 libier a 20 centov
Hral som kým mi nekrvácali prsty
To bolo leto ´69

Ja a zopár chalanov zo školy
Mali sme kapelu a vážne sme skúšali tvrdo
Jimmy prestal a Jody sa oženil
Mal so vedieť, že to nikdy ďaleko nedotiahneme
Oh, keď sa teraz pozerám späť
To leto sa mi zdá naveky posledné
A ak som mal nejakú túžbu
Mal som ísť stále za tým
Boli to najkrajšie dni v mojom živote

Nemal som sa sťažovať
Keď si dostal džob
Moje deprimujúce večery som trávil v aute
A vtedy som stretol teba

Chorus:
Stáli sme na verande tvojej mamy
Povedal si mi, že si ma čakal večnosť
Oh a keď si ma chytil za ruku
Vedel som, že sa to ma stať teraz alebo nikdy
Boli to najkrajšie dni môjho života

Späť do leta ´69

Len sme tým zabíjali čas
Boli sme mladí a divokí
Potrebovali sme len vypnúť
Nepočítal som s tým, že to bude naveky naposledy – naveky nie!

A teraz sa časy zmenili
Pozerám sa na všetko, čo prišlo a odišlo
Niekedy, keď brnkám na starej 6-strunovej
Lámem si hlavu nad tým, čo som vtedy pokašlal
