Thursday Night Music -- Music We Like

In the first of a recurring series on Ferry Tales, we proudly present Thursday Night Music. Sometimes at Ferry Tales, we like to take a break from the side-splitting humor....errr.....hard-hitting news and venture into the arts. So every Thursday night, except for when we forget of course, we'll post videos and song lyrics because, well, just because we can.

Tonight we're posting a video to Summer of '69 by Bryan Adams. Why? Because it's a great song to get your feet tapping and put the week behind you on a Thursday night ferry crossing. So enjoy! And let us know what songs you'd like to see featured in future posts!

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 Jody 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, those wanna-be days
Those were the best days of my life

Ain't no use in complainin'
When you got a job to do
Spent my evenin's down at the drive-in
And that's when I met you

Standin' on your mama's porch
You told me that you'd wait forever
Oh but when you held my hand
I knew that it was now or never
Those were the best days of my life

(Chorus) Back in the Summer of '69

Man we were killin' time
We were young and restless
We needed to unwind
I guess nothin' can last forever, forever, no

And now the times are changin'
Look at everything that's come and gone
Somethimes when I play that old six-string
I think about ya, wonder what went wrong

Standin' on your mama's porch
You told me it would last forever
Oh the way you held my hand
I knew that it was now or never
Those were the best days of my life

(Chorus) Back in summer of '69
