1945

Lyrics

[Verse 1] Looking at the radio caught up in a dream About the days gone by when no one had a TV Hoping that the weather man would say good things Like no rain on friday for the drive in movie Little kids didn't have a care There was love growin' up everywhere But when I open my eyes and the dream stops playin' You can still find me somewhere saying [Chorus] I shoulda been born in '45 In '54 I woulda been 9 White shirt, poodle skirt, silk hair tie Dancing in the moonlight That woulda been nice Ooo ooh Oh that woulda been nice Ooo ooh [Verse 2] Boombox on my shoulder wit my favorite tape I'm reppin my 8 tracks and my buckle up skates How do I know about that you say You say You wear bell bottom jeans get a double take From all the guys and the girls who look your way Back then people didn't always agree But the love goin round was revolutionary and [Pre-Chorus] Even though the world was crazy I'd still go if my dreams could take me oh [Chorus] I shoulda been born in '65 In '74 I woulda been 9 Tryna' get home after playin outside Racin' street lights, racin street lights I shoulda been born in '65 I woulda been a teenager round '79 Teasing my hair so it looks just right On a saturday night, yeah That woulda been nice [Bridge] Growin' up I never really had a care There was love all the time and everywhere And even though sometimes my world may get a little crazy I find myself bein proud when I say [Chorus] I coulda been born in '45 But the truth is I got here right on time And I thank God for every day of life It suits me just right, it suits me just right And lovely 1991 That's the year that I come from And I wouldn't wanna trade it for another time I love this life yeah I love this life Ooo ooh I love this life Ooo ooh I love this life
