Summer of '69 (Acoustic)

I got my first real six string
我在某個便利店
Bought it at the five and dime
買到了人生第一把六弦琴
Played it til my fingers bled
我不停地彈奏直到手指被磨破
Was the summer of '69
那是69年的夏日
Me and some guys from school
我和幾個校友
Had a band and we tried real hard
建了支樂隊每天辛苦練習著
Jimmy quit and Jody got married
後來Jimmy退隊Jody也結了婚
I shoulda known we'd never get far
但我知道我們從未走遠過

但如今每當我回首過往
But when I look back now
那個夏天早已定格於記憶中
That summer seemed to last forever
倘若讓我再做一次選擇
And if I had the choice
我還會走同樣的路
Ya, I'd always wanna be there
這些時日是我人生中最美好的篇章
Those were the best days of my life
好想再回到那69年的夏日時光
Back in the summer of-
當你已經選擇了這份職務
Ain't no use in complainin'
任何解釋都已無濟於事
When you got a job to do
我曾整夜驅車徘徊
Spent my evenin's down at the drive-in
就是這時我遇見了你
And that's when I met you, ya
站在你媽媽家的門廊前

你承諾我你會永遠等待我
Standin' on your mama's porch
那天你牽著我的手
You told me that you'd wait forever
我知道機不可失
Oh, and when you held my hand
這些時日是我人生中最美好的篇章
I knew that it was now or never
Those were the best days of my life
好想再回到那69年的夏日時光
Oh Yeah!
Back in the summer of '69
我們盡情消磨著時間
Oh Yeah!
那時我們年少輕狂

我想我們應該放鬆片刻
We were killin' time
我想這世上並無永恆
We were young and restless
We needed to unwind
如今時過境遷
I guess nothin' can last forever
只有看著那世間萬物的來去輪迴
Forever...
有時我會彈著那把破舊的六弦琴
And now the times are changin'
想知道我們之間究竟哪裡出了問題
Look at everything that's come and gone
那時我站在你媽媽家的門廊前
Sometimes when I play that old six string
你承諾我你會永遠等待我
I think about ya 'n wonder what went wrong
那天你牽著我的手

我知道這機遇千載難逢
Standin' on your mama's porch
這些時日是我人生中最美好的篇章
You told me it would last forever
Oh, the way you held my hand
好想再回到那69年的夏日時光
I knew that it was now or never
Those were the best days of my life
Oh yeah
Back in the summer of '69
Oh yeah
