Are you ready to do a lil' singin' out here with us? One, two, one, two, three, go [Verse 1] 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 in my backyard Had a shoebox full of baseball cards A couple of Evel Knievel scars on my right arm I was a kid when Elvis died And my mama cried [Chorus] It was 1970-something In the world that I grew up in Farrah Fawcett hair-do days Bell-bottoms and eight-track tapes And lookin' back now I can see me Oh, man, did I look cheesy But I wouldn't trade those days for nothin' It was 1970-something, yeah [Verse 2] Well, it was the dawning of a new decade And we got our first microwave Dad broke down and finally shaved them old sideburns off I took the stickers off of my Rubik's Cube Watched MTV all afternoon And my first love was Daisy Duke in them cut-off jeans A space shuttle fell out of the sky And the whole world cried [Chorus] It was 1980-something 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 Oh, man, did I look cheesy But I wouldn't trade those days for nothin' Oh, it was 1980-something [Bridge] Now I got a mortgage and an SUV But all this responsibility Makes me wish (Wish) sometimes (Sometimes) [Chorus] It was 1980-something In the world that I grew up in Skating rinks and black Trans Ams Big hair and parachute pants And lookin' back now I can see me And oh, man, did I look cheesy But I wouldn't trade those days for nothin' Oh, it was 1980-something 1970-something Aw, it was 19-something [Outro] Thank y'all very much A big hand for the band!
