I 1 ___________ my first real six-string

(I) 2 ___________ it at the five-and-dime
(I) 3 ___________ it till my fingers bled
It 4 ___________ the summer of ’69
Me and some guys from school
5
___________ a band and we 6 ___________ real hard
Jimmy 7 ___________ and Jody 8 ___________ married
I should’ve known we’d never get far
Oh when I look back now
That summer 9 ___________ to last forever
And if I 10 ___________ the choice
Ya – I’d always wanna be there
Those 11 ___________ the best days of my life
Ain’t no use in complaining
When you 12 ___________ a job to do
(I) 13 ___________ my evenings down at the drive-in
And that’s when I 14 ___________ you
Standing on your mama’s porch
You 15 ___________ me that you’d wait forever
Oh and when you 16 ___________ my hand
I 17 ___________ that it 18 ___________ now or never
Those 19 ___________ the best days of my life
Back in the summer of ’69
Man we were killing time
We 20 ___________ young and restless
We 21 ___________ to unwind
I guess nothing can last forever – 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 you, wonder what 22 ___________ wrong
