19 Somethin’

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 back yard
Had a shoebox full of baseball cards
And a couple of Evil Kinevil 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 hairdo 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'
Aww, It was 1970 something

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 Rubix Cube
Watched MTV all afternoon
My first love was Daisy Duke
In them cutoff jeans
Space Shuttle fell out of the sky
And the whole world cried

It was 1980 somethin'
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'
Aww, It was 1980 somethin'

Now I got a mortgage and an SUV
But all this responsibility
Makes me wish sometimes
Sometimes

It was 1980 somethin'
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'
Aww, It was 1980 somethin'

1970 somethin'
Aw, it was 19-Somethin'
