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

Ain't no use in complainin'/ When you got a job to do/ Spent my evenin's down at

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
