It's true but i understand that people think it recalls a year, since he's singing "In the summer of 69". But it doesn't recall to a year but indeed a sexual position.

Lyrics:
I got my first real six-string
Bought it at the five-and-dime
Played 'til my fingers bled
was summer of '69
Me and some guys from school
Had a Band and we tried real hard
Jimmy quit Jody got married
I shoulda known we'd never get far
Oh when I look back now
The summer seemed to last forever
And if I had the choice
Ya - I'd always wanna be there
Those were the best days of my life

(CHORUS)

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 yeah
Standin on your mama'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

(Chorus)

Back in Summer of '69
OH
Man we were killin' time
We were young and restless
We needed to unwind
I guess nothin' can last forever, forever, no
Yeah
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 and when you held my hand
I knew that it was now or never
Those were the best days of my life
Oh yeah

(Chorus)

Back in summer of '69
(Repeats until fading off)
