one direction 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 should of known we'd never get far

Oh when I look back now
That was seems 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 complaining'
When toi got a job to do
Spent my evenings down at the drive in
And that's when I met you

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

(Chorus) Back in Summer of '69

Man we were killing' time
We were young and restless
We needed to unwind
I guess nothing' can last 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 a mama's porch
toi told me it would last forever
Oh the way toi held my hand
I knew that it was now ou never
Those were the best days of my life
