Written by Bryan Adams and Jim Vallance
Summer Of 69
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
Jmmy 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

[@douglashott9843]

The song is shallow, full of cliches, a bit silly, and perfect. I say this as a compliment. When I can throw all the criticisms that are easy to throw at a work and I still like it there's a very odd magic involved.

[@SaxonChronicles]

wow... everyone has that lyric that means the most to them.... to me its when he says... sometimes I play that old six string, think about you and wonder what went wrong.... I still have the guitar that I taught my love to play on years ago. She made me like this song and I taught her how to play it. She was pretty talented actually. I never was sure just why she left. but sometimes I pick up that old six string she used to hold 30 years ago and wonder just what went wrong

First time I heard the song and came across Bryan Adams was when he was the main musical act at the 2015 AFL Grand Final, compared to other Grand Finals where the musical acts ranged from average to awful (2011 was infamous for Meatloaf) he tore the stadium down with how awesome he was, I remember it was a warm spring day and enjoying a couple of cold ones watching him and the game!

The anthem of my generation. Got my driver's license in '69. This is the song they'll play at my funeral. Sad but true, they were the best years of my life. Maybe if I knew that then, it would have made a difference. Be it ever so humble, there's no place like home. Thanks for the memories, and long gone pals and gals. Btw, it's OUR kids and grand-kids running amok and hating on America. WTF happened? And to set the record straight, back in the day, 'free love' wasn't 'free'. It was buy one, 'get one' free. Which wasn't a bad deal. luuuuv uuuuuu

I don’t think people these days realize how effin’ cool Bryan Adams is. Rugged, honest, great music, the whole package. I blasted “Run To You” with my windows down and every vehicle at red lights gave me a nod or thumbs up. I’ve never met Bryan but being a drummer myself, I appreciate the arrangements of most of his songs. He’s the man.

@@account4info Look up the lyrics: it says "Me and my baby in '69".

[@account4info]

@@paulgharett4727 Look at the interviews he has done about it, here is a quote from one "Adams’s clean-living image has helped disguise one of the most blatant innuendos of modern rock: the ‘69’ in question doesn’t refer to the year 1969, but to the sexual position. Adams has announced as much from the stage, and even appears to sing ‘me and my baby in a 69’ during the song’s outro." “The song is a bit autobiographical,” Adams explains, “but it’s really about summer love and, in my, case being a musician. I love the song Night Moves by Bob Seger, which is about getting laid in the summer, and I always wanted to write an answer to that. There is a huge misconception that this song is about 1969, but it’s not. The reason I chose 69 is because of the sexual position.

When this album came out I was 15 and spending the summer with my grandparents in McMinnville TN. I got a job hauling hay for my uncle and used my first check to buy the Reckless album and Springsteen's Born in the USA. Every afternoon, me and one of the other guys ( Dale was his name, he had a car.) would pop this song in and go find some country girls to hang with. We would end up out in some hay field or barn loft with the sun going down, sipping our first beers, singing and dancing with those girls! Those were some of the best days of my life!
