Summer Of 69
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

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
