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

well, I was Roger Staubach in my back yard

had a shoebox full of baseball cards

and a couple of Evil Kanevil scars on my right arm

well I was a kid when Elvis died

and my mama cried



it was 1970 somethin'

in the world that I grew up in

Farah Faucet hairdo days

Bell bottoms and eight track tapes

lookin' back now I can see me

oh man did I look cheesy

I wouldn't trade those days for nothin'

ah, it was 1970 somethin'



It was the dawning of a new decade

we got our first microwave

Dad broke down and finally shaved those sideburns off

I took the stickers off my Rubiks cube

Watched Mtv all afternoon

My first love was Daisy Duke

in them cut-off 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

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'

ah, it was 1980 somethin'



now I got a mortgage and SUV

but all this responsibility

makes me wish...sometimes



that it was 1980 somethin'

in 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'

ah, it was 1980 somethin'



1970 somethin'...



ah it was 19 somethin'
