Lyrics

Whoo!
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
I was Roger Staubach back in my backyard
Had a shoe box full of baseball cards
And a couple of Evil Knievel scars
On my right 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 8-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'
It was 1970 something
It was the dawning of a new decade
When we got our first microwave
And dad broke down and finally shaved
Those sideburns off
I took the stickers off of my Rubix 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
Lookin' back now I can see me
And oh, man, did I look cheesy?
But I wouldn't trade those days for nothin'
It was 1980 something
Yeah
Now I got a mortgage and an SUV
And all this responsibility
Makes me wish sometimes
(Wish sometimes)
It was 1980 something
In the world that I grew up in
Skating rinks and Black Trans Ams
Big hair and parachute pants
Lookin' back now I can see me
And oh, man, did I look cheesy?
But I wouldn't trade those days for nothin'
It was 1980 something
1970 something
Aw, it was 19 something, yaw
