I got my	first real six string	, bought it at the five & dime

Ain't no use complaining	when you got a job to do

Spent my evenings down at the drive in	and that's when I	met you

Standing on your	mamma's porch	you told me that you'd	wait forever

Back in the summer of	sixty-nine

I guess	nothing can last for	ever, for	ever
