Summer
Dj.Kris Lyrics

I got my first real six-string
I obtained my very first actual guitar

Bought it at the five-and-dime
Purchased it from a budget store

Played it 'til my fingers bled
Used it until my fingertips were sore

It was the summer of '69
This occurred during the summer of 1969

Me and some guys from school
My schoolmates and I

Had a band and we tried real hard
We formed a musical group and put in considerable effort

Jimmy quit and Judy got married
Jimmy stopped participating, and Judy got married

Shoulda known, we'd never get far
It would be evident that we weren't going to achieve much

Oh when I look back now
Presently, reflecting on the past

That summer seemed to last forever
That summer felt like it lasted a long time

And if I had the choice
Given the option

Yeah, I'd always want to be there
I would always choose to be there

Those were the best days of my life
Those were the most enjoyable days of my life

Ain't no use in complainin'
There isn't any benefit to complaining

When you got a job to do
When there is work that needs to be accomplished

Spent my evenings down at the drive-in
I spent my evenings at the drive-in theater

And that's when I met you, yeah
That's the time when we met

Standin' on mama's porch
Standing on my mother's porch

You told me that you'd wait forever
You informed me that you'd wait indefinitely

Oh and when you held my hand
When you took hold of my hand

I knew that it was now or never
I realized that it was the opportune moment

Man, we were killin' time
We were passing the time

We were young and restless
We were youthful and eager

We needed to unwind
We required to unwind

I guess nothin' can last forever, forever, no
I suppose nothing can endure indefinitely
