In '85, uesday morning, came alive, I didn't know ya
Route 66 is gone, Reagan's here, it won't be long
Nintendo comes, live Aid too, back to the future, where were you
While I spent all my days in Catholic school

In '89, the dream begins, first in line to California
Pete Rose is banned for good, The Simpsons come to Hollywood
Russia leaves Afghanistan, Flight 103 ends Pan Am
Bush is here, this is the year that I feel most alone

No more, countin' down the hours
No more, wishin' you were here
I stopped believin', although Journey told me 'don't'
Before I call it a day

Maybe this'll be my year
Maybe this'll be my year
Maybe this'll be my year
Maybe this'll be my year

In '92, a boy is born, the skies were blue, in Ohio
Boris Yeltsin chills, Freddie dies, but Queen is still
Barcelona has the games, Lady Di is single again
Clinton wins and I still dream, that I'll find you someday

In '97, a baby girl, adds some heaven to the world
Tony Blair tips the scales, Elton sings for the Princess of Wales
Microsoft buys into Mac, my dad has a second heart attack
And Train leaves San Francisco in a thousand-dollar van

No more, countin' down the hours
No more, wishin' you were here
I stopped believin', although Journey told me 'don't'
Before I call it a day

Maybe this'll be my year
Maybe this'll be my year
Maybe this'll be my year
Maybe this'll be my year

2001, the towers fell, the world is stunned, I wish I knew ya
I was on a plane, the world would never be the same
The artificial heart is born, ironic when New York's is torn out
Wooohhh

2004, began in May, on tour when I met ya
Facebook joins the Internet, oldsmobile joins the cassette
I met your family, took a while until you kissed me
But when you did, I finally felt at home

I stopped believin', although Journey told me 'don't'
Before I call it a day

Maybe this'll be my year
Maybe this'll be my year
Maybe this'll be my year
Maybe this'll be my year

2012 and all I know, is everybody comes and goes
Everybody sings and cries, makes the grade and takes the prize
In somethin', nothin', I don't care
Because I always know that you'll be here, with me
