| Saw Star Wars at least eight times
|
| Had the Pac-Man pattern memorized
|
| And I’ve seen the stuff they put inside…
|
| Stretch Armstrong (yeah)
|
| I was Roger Staubach in my backyard
|
| Had a shoebox full of baseball cards
|
| And a couple of Evil Knievel scars
|
| On my right arm.
|
| I was a kid when Elvis died
|
| And my momma cried…
|
| It was nineteen seventy somethin'
|
| And the world that I grew up in Farrah Fawcett hairdo days
|
| Bell bottoms and eight track tapes
|
| Lookin' back now I can see me Oh man, did I look cheesy
|
| But I wouldn’t trade those days for nothin'
|
| Oh it was nineteen seventy-somethin'.
|
| It was the dawning of a new decade
|
| We got our first microwave
|
| Dad broke down and
|
| Finally shaved them old sideburns off
|
| I took the stickers off of my Rubik’s Cube
|
| Watched M-TV all afternoon
|
| My first love was Daisy Duke
|
| And them cut-off jeans.
|
| Space Shuttle fell out of the sky
|
| And the whole world cried…
|
| It was nineteen eighty-somethin'
|
| And the world that I grew up in Skatin' rinks and black Trans-Ams
|
| Big hair and parachute pants
|
| And lookin' back now I can see me Oh man, did I look cheesy
|
| I wouldn’t trade those days for nothin'
|
| Oh it was nineteen eighty-somethin'.
|
| Now I’ve got a mortgage and an SUV
|
| But all this responsibility…
|
| Makes me wish…
|
| Sometimes…
|
| That it was nineteen eighty-something
|
| And the world that I grew up in Skatin' rinks and black Trans-Ams
|
| Big hair and parachute pants
|
| And lookin' back now I can see me Oh man, did I look cheesy
|
| I wouldn’t trade those days for nothin'
|
| Oh it was nineteen eighty-something…
|
| Nineteen seventy-something…
|
| Oh, it was nineteen… somethin'. |
