woo
oh yeah
i saw star wars at least eight times
had the pacman pattern memorized
and i’ve seen the stuff they put inside
stretch armstrong yeah
oh i was roger staubach in my backyard
had a shoebox full of baseball cards
and a couple of evel knievel scars on my arm
well i was a kid when elvis died
and my mama cried
it was 970something
in the world that i grew up in
farrah fawcett hairdo days
bellbottoms and eighttrack tapes
lookin’ back now i can see me
and oh man did i look cheesy
but i wouldn’t trade those days for nothin’
oh it was 970something yeah
it was the dawning of a new decade
we got our first microwave
and dad broke down and finally shaved them old sideburns off
i took the stickers off of my rubik’s cube
watched mtv all afternoon
my first love was daisy duke in them cutoff jeans
a space shuttle fell out of the sky
and the whole world cried
it was 980something
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
and oh man did i look cheesy
i wouldn’t trade those days for nothin’
oh it was 980something
now i got a mortgage and an suv
but all this responsibility
makes me wish wish sometimes sometimes
it was 980something
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
and oh man did i look cheesy
i wouldn’t trade those days for nothin’
oh it was 980something
970something
aw it was 9something
