Il testo della Nineteen somethin'

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'
