Summer of 69

This song describes memories from the summer of 1969. The singer got their first guitar and played in a band with friends from school. They tried hard but the band didn't last long. The singer met someone standing on their porch and knew their relationship was special. The chorus reflects on that summer as the best time of their life. Now times have changed but the singer still thinks about that summer romance when playing their old guitar.
