I saw Star Wars at least 8 times
Had the Pac-Man pattern memorized
And I've seen the stuff they put inside
Stretch Armstrong

I was Roger Stauback in my back yard
Had a shoebox full of baseball cards
And a couple of Evil Kinevil stars
On my right arm

Well, I was a kid when Elvis died - and my mama cried

It was 1970 something
In the world that I grew up in
Farrah Faucett hair-do days
Bell bottoms and 8-track tapes
Lookin' back now I can see me
And oh, man did I look cheesy
But I wouldn't trade those days for nothin'
It was 1970 something

It was the dawning of a new decade
When we got our first microwave
Dad broke down and finally shaved
Them ol' sideburns off

I took the stickers off of my Rubix cube
Watched MTV all afternoon
My first love was Daisy Duke
In them cut off jeans

The Space Shuttle fell out of the sky - and the whole world cried

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
And oh, man did I look cheesy
But I wouldn't trade those days for nothin'
It was 1980 something

Now I got a mortgage and an SUV
But all this responsibility
Makes me wish sometimes

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
And oh, man did I look cheesy
But I wouldn't trade those days for nothin'
It was 1980 something

1970 something

Aw, it was 19 Something
