|
I saw Star Wars at least 8 times
|
Had the Pac-Man pattern memorized
|
And I've seen the stuff they put inside
|
Stretch Armstrong,
|
Yeah
|
|
I was Roger Staubach back in my back yard
|
Had a shoebox full of baseball cards
|
And a couple of Evil Kinevil scars
|
On my right arm
|
Well, I was a kid when Elvis died
|
And my mama cried
|
|
Chorus:
|
It was 1970-something
|
In the world that I grew up in
|
Farrah Faucett hair-do days
|
Bell bottoms and 8-track tapes
|
Lookin' back now I can see me
|
And oh, man did I look cheesy
|
But I wouldn't trade those days for nothin'
|
It was 1970-something
|
|
It was the dawning of a new decade
|
When we got our first microwave
|
And Dad broke down and finally shaved
|
Them old sideburns off
|
I took the stickers off of my Rubix cube
|
Watched MTV all afternoon
|
My first love was Daisy Duke
|
In them cut off jeans
|
A Space Shuttle fell out of the sky
|
And the whole world cried
|
|
Chorus:
|
It was 1980-something
|
In the world that I grew up in
|
Skating rinks and Black Trans Ams
|
Big hair and parachute pants
|
Lookin' back now I can see me
|
And oh, man did I look cheesy
|
But I wouldn't trade those days for nothin'
|
It was 1980-something
|
|
Now I got a mortgage and an SUV
|
But all this responsibility
|
Makes me wish sometimes
|
Sometimes....
|
|
Chorus:
|
It was 1980-something
|
In the world that I grew up in
|
Skating rinks and Black Trans Ams
|
Big hair and parachute pants
|
Lookin' back now I can see me
|
And oh, man did I look cheesy
|
But I wouldn't trade those days for nothin'
|
It was 1980-something
|
|
1970-something
|
Aw, it was 19-Something
|
|
