Got my first real Discman, bought it at the mall downtown Played it till my ears gave in, wearin’ JNCOs hangin’ down Me and the gang from high school, had a band and we tried real hard Jimmy quit, Joey got grounded, shoulda known we’d never get far Oh when I look back now, that summer seemed to last forever If I had the choice, I’d live it all together Those were the best days of my life… back in the summer of ’97 No use complainin’, when you’re on a 56k line Spendin’ nights just waitin’, downloads takin’ all their time Hangin’ at the corner with my friends, music blastin’ from the car Dreamin’ we could live like the bands, we thought someday we’d be stars Oh when I look back now, that summer seemed to last forever If I had the choice, I’d live it all together Those were the best days of my life… back in the summer of ’97 PlayStation nights, we were young and restless We just needed to unwind I guess nothing can last forever… forever… And now the times are changin’, look at everything that’s come and gone Sometimes I still stream the old sounds, takes me back where I belong Standin’ in the parking lot, that’s where I met my first girlfriend The memories hit me hard, I’ll always miss that summer then Those were the best days of my life… back in the summer of ’97
