summer of 69

A couple of minutes ago it played in some cubicle

"I got my first real six-string
Bought it at the five-and-dime
Played 'til my fingers bled
It was summer of '69

Me and some guys from school
Had a Band and we tried real hard
Jimmy quit and Joey got married
Shoulda known we'd never get far

Oh when I look back now
The summer seems to last forever
And if I had the choice
Ya - I'd always wanna be there
Those were the best days of my life"

I listened carefully. Until someone picked up their phone.
