Bryan Adams - Summer Of 69 (Official Music Video)

The “69“ reference is often thought to be about the year, but it’s not about the year! It’s about teen nostalgia, playing in a band and reflecting back on love in the summertime . Written by Bryan Adams and Jim Vallance Directed by Steve Barron I got my first real six-string Bought it at the five-and-dime Played it til my fingers bled It was the summer of 69 Me and some guys from school Had a band and we tried real hard Jimmy quit and Jody got married I shoulda known we’d never get far Oh when i look back now - that summer seemed to last forever And if i had the choice - ya - I’d always wanna be there Those were the best days of my life 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 your mama’s porch - you told me that you’d wait forever Oh and when you held my hand - i knew that it was now or never Those were the best days of my life - back in the summer of ’69 Man we were killin’ time - we were young and restless We needed to unwind - i guess nothin’ can last forever And now the times are changin’ Look at everything that’s come and gone Sometimes when i play that old six-string I think about ya wonder what went wrong Standin’ on your 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 - back in the summer of ’69 Ya - me and my baby in a 69 #BryanAdams #SummerOf69 #Remastered
