19 Somethin'

Woo

Oh yeah

I 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

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 1970-something

In the world that I grew up in

Farrah Fawcett hair-do days

Bell-bottoms and eight-track 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 1970-something, 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 cut-off jeans

A space shuttle fell out of the sky

And the whole world cried

It was 1980-something

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 1980-something

Now I got a mortgage and an SUV

But all this responsibility

Makes me wish (Wish) sometimes (Sometimes)

It was 1980-something

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 1980-something

1970-something

Aw, it was 19-something
