WOO!
OH... YEAH
I SAW STAR WARS
AT LEAST EIGHT TIMES
HAD THE PAC-MAN
PATTERN MEMORISED
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
A COUPLE OF EVEL KNIEVEL
SCARS ON MY RIGHT ARM
I WAS A KID WHEN ELVIS DIED
AND MY MAMA CRIED
IT WAS NINETEEN
SEVENTY-SOMETHIN'
IN THE WORLD
THAT I GREW UP IN
FARRAH FAWCETT
HAIR-DO DAYS
BELL-BOTTOMS
AND EIGHT-TRACK TAPES
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
SEVENTY-SOMETHIN'
IT WAS THE DAWNIN' 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.T.V. ALL AFTERNOON
AND MY FIRST LOVE
WAS DAISY DUKE
IN 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
SKATING 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'
YEAH
NOW I GOT A MORTGAGE
AND AN S.U.V.
AND ALL THIS RESPONSIBILITY
MAKES ME WISH SOMETIMES...
IT WAS NINETEEN
EIGHTY-SOMETHIN'
IN THE WORLD
THAT I GREW UP IN
SKATING 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'
NINETEEN
SEVENTY-SOMETHIN'
AW... IT WAS
NINETEEN-SOMETHIN'
Y'ALL!
