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

I was Roger Moore back in my backyard

Had a shoebox full of movie-stars

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'

In the world that I grew up in

Farrah Fawcett hairdo days

Bell bottoms and two track tapes

Lookin' back now I can see me..

Oh man, did I look crazy

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 my Rubik's Cube

I watched MTV all afternoon

And my first love was daisy duke..

With them cut off jeans

Space Shuttle fell out of the sky

And the whole world cried..



It was nineteen eighty-somethin'

In the world that I grew up in

Skatin' rinks and black Trans-Ams

Big hair and parachute pants

Lookin' back now I can see me..

Oh man, did I look crazy

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...



It was nineteen eighty-something

In the world that I grew up in

Skatin' rinks and black Trans-Arms

Big hair and parachute pants

Lookin' back now I can see me..

Oh man, did I look crazy

I wouldn't trade those days for nothin'

Oh it was nineteen eighty-somethin'..

Nineteen seventy-somethin'..

Oh it was nineteen.. somethin'
