Back in 84

Lyrics

[Verse 1] It was November, back in '84 With Joe Cocker on the radio the year that I was born Back then was simple, on the TV screen Pictures of a better time printed on old magazines [Pre-Chorus] But that was all back then, this is now Can't turn back around And the generation's hands are on the wheel [Chorus] These are the best days The best days of your life They break us, they shape us to who we are It's the courage that it takes to live in these times So make 'em the best days The best days of your life [Verse 2] It was November, back in '91 The Berlin Wall came down, we hoped for no more guns And I do remember, back in '94 Michael Jordan in the air, he inspired us to soar [Pre-Chorus] But that was all back then and this is now We can't turn back around Every generation's hands are on the wheel [Chorus] These were the best days The best days of our life The breakups that shape us to who we are It's the courage that it takes to live in these times So make 'em the best days The best days of your life [Bridge] La la la la la la la la la la La la la la la la la la la la La la la la la la la la la la [Chorus] Please, be the best days The best days of our lives If it breaks us, it will teach us to survive It's the courage that it takes to live in these times It's the best days The best days of your life [Outro] Ooh
