MxPx Album

i got my first real six-string bought it at the five
and dime played it till 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 joey 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 yeah - i'd always wanna be there
those were the best days of my life back in the summer of '69 ain't no use
in complaining when you got a job to do spent my evenings down
at the drive-in and that's when i met you standin'
on your daddy'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 killining time we were young
and restless we needed to unwind i guess nothin' can last forever - forever,
no and now the times are changing look at everything that's come
and gone sometimes i play that old six-string i think
about ya wonder what went wrong standing
on your daddy's porch you told me it would last forever 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

all my love, all my kissing you don't know what you've been missing oh boy -
oh boy when you're with me the world can see that you were meant
for me all my life, i've been waiting. tonight there'll be no hesitating oh boy -
oh boy stars are peering, shadows falling you can hear my heart
calling a little bit of loving makes everything right
i'm gonna see my baby tonight oh boy - oh boy

will hear your heart from within the castle to his warm hearth granting hope
and wisdom to your soul the evil spell of sadness has been broken in your heart,

thought that i was- was a goner everyone had written my life off dreamed
about better days and hoped that i could make it happen somehow
someone please -please help me i'm dying from the inside out
come to find out god loves me come to find out i was not alone
you found me - you found me - you found me... regeneration,
a new sensation the rebuilding of my broken heart i've put my faith
into action i've got a clean, a brand new start the more i seek,
the more i find you it seems the wonders never cease
how can i ever re-pay you help me lord to see just
what you say you found me - you found me - you found me...
empty dreams, hollow schemes don't get trapped into the things of this world
you'll find out like i found out hey! they just won't fill your life no! you want life -
real life? then let jesus find you like he found me you found me

talking away i don't know what what to say -
i'll say it anyway today's another day to find you shying away
i'll be coming for your love take on me, take me on
i'll be gone in a day so needless to say i'm odds
and ends and you see me stumbling away slowly learning that life is ok.
say after me it's no better to be safe than sorry take on me,
take me on i'll be gone in a day oh the things that you say is it life
or just to play my worries away all the things i've got to remember shying
away i'll be coming for you anyway take on me,
take me on i'll be gone in a day

marie marie playing guitar on the back porch i sit in my car
while she sings so sad marie marie it's so lonely in these farmlands
please come with me to the bright lights downtown marie marie i said,
"hey, pretty girl don't you understand i just want to be your loving man"
marie marie the sun is down in the corn fields the evening is dark
and you sing so sad marie marie marie marie i got two weeks in back pay
there's gas in my car and your folks say i must go i said,
"hey, pretty girl don't you understand i just want to be your loving man"
marie marie marie marie playing guitar on the back porch i leave in my car
while you sing so sad marie marie

i found it hard to believe,
someone like you came for me you put this love in my heart i tried,
i could, i refused,
you gave me no time to choose you put this love in my heart
i wanna know where the bad feelings go when i'm depressed
and i get down so low then if i see you calling to me,
it's all right i wanna tell you right now,
i'm not afraid to say how you put this love in my heart there's sometimes
when i doubt, but you offer me out you put this love in my heart
cause when i see that you died for me so when i was down
i had to believe cause you following her,
proving all your love and i know the loneliness i've had before in god now,
i never feel it anymore cause your lovin has released me
from all that is in my past so much more i could say
if i could just find a way you put this love in my heart
it's all so thrilling to me,
i feel so good i could scream you put this love in my heart i wanna know
where the bad feelings go when i'm depressed
and i get down so low then if i see you calling to me,
it's all right

give her milk, milk and cookies give her everything,
even cooties that girl's insane,
suprised she even knows my name since the day we met that girl's
got no brain there was something strange,
something strange about her she never spoke a word
or moved a muscle that girl's insane,
surprised she even knows my name since the day we met
that girl's got no brain i browse to make up words to write up
a note i haven't decided what they'll be i got this problem
and i don't know why she got no brains and she's left me for another guy.
