I saw Star Wars at least 8 times
Had the Pac-Man pattern memorized
I've seen the stuff they put inside Stretch Armstrong. Yeah
I was Roger Staubach in my backyard
Had a shoebox full of baseball cards
And a couple of Evil Kenievel scars on my right arm.
Well, I was a kid when Elvis died and my momma cried.
CHORUS
It was 1970 somethin' in the world that I grew up in
Farrah Fawcett hairdo days, bell bottoms and 8 track tapes
Looking back now I can see me. Oh man, did I look cheesy
I wouldn't trade those days for nothin'. Aww, it was 1970 somethin'
VERSE 2
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 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
CHORUS 2
It was 1980 somethin' in the world that I grew up in.
Skating rinks and black Trans-Am's
Big hair and parachute pants
Looking back now I can see me
Oh man did I look cheesy
I wouldn't trade those days for nothin'. Aww, It was 1980 somethin'
BRIDGE
Now I got a mortgage and an SUV
But all this responsabilty makes me wish sometimes
REPEAT CHORUS 2
1970 somethin' Aww, it was 19 somethin'
