Story Behind The Song
I just wanted to do a cover song with a twist. This song always reminded me of my friendships as I was growing up so I wanted to adjust the lyrics and keep the same attitude!

Lyrics
?Summer of ?95?
Learned the meaning of friendship
Back when I was 17
We called ourselves crew for life
Was the summer of 95
Me and some guys from school
Yeah we knew we would never die
Scotty, Phil, Darryl, Brian, Al, and Noah
Spent some time on the wild side
Oh and when I look back now
That summer seemed to last forever
And if I had the choice
Yeah, I?d wanna be there
Those were the best days of my life
Ain?t no use in complaining
Time goes by and things must change
Spend my evenings reliving those memories
And that?s when I recall yeah
Playing spades in your townhouse and
Drinkin? 40s near a tattoo gun
Oh and when it came my turn
I knew that it was now or never
Those were the best days of my life
Oh yeah
Back in the summer of ?95
Oh?
Man we were killing time
We were young and reckless
We needed to unwind
I guess nothing can last forever
Forever no
Yeah
And now the times are changing
Look at everything that?s come and gone
Years go by there aint no erasing
All the memories etched in this arm
Playing spades in your townhouse and
Drinkin? 40s near a tattoo gun
Oh and when it came my turn
I knew that it was now or never
Those were the best days of my life
Oh yeah
Back in the summer of 95
Uh huh, it was the summer of 95
Oh yeah, me and my boys back in 95
Summer of, summer of 95
10 years later
I still have six blood brothers
We call ourselves crew for life
Years go by but there aint no erasing
Frozen memories of another time
Some have been excellent parents,
We all help each other live our lives
Some have been the greatest of husbands
Some have learned persistence and drive
Some have risked there lives and family
Spending several months on the Iraqi front lines
When I look back now
That summer still seems to last forever
Scotty, Phil, Darryl, Brian, Al Noah
Those were the best days of my life
You?re forever in my mind
