19 Something lyrics

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
well, I was Roger Staubach in my back yard
had a shoebox full of baseball cards
and a couple of Evil Kanevil scars on my right arm
well I was a kid when Elvis died
and my mama cried

it was 1970 somethin'
in the world that I grew up in
Farah Faucet hairdo days
Bell bottoms and eight track tapes
lookin' back now I can see me
oh man did I look cheesy
I wouldn't trade those days for nothin'
ah, it was 1970 somethin'

It was the dawning of a new decade
we got our first microwave
Dad broke down and finally shaved those sideburns off
I took the stickers off my Rubiks cube
Watched Mtv all afternoon
My first love was Daisy Duke
in them cut-off jeans
Space shuttle fell out of the sky
and the whole world cried

it was 1980 somethin'
in the world that I grew up in
Skatin' rinks and black Trans Ams'
big hair and Parachute pants
and lookin' back now I can see me
oh man did I look cheesy
I wouldn't trade those days for nothin'
ah, it was 1980 somethin'

now I got a mortgage and SUV
but all this responsibility
makes me wish...sometimes

that it was 1980 somethin'
in the world that I grew up in
Skatin' rinks and black Trans Ams'
big hair and Parachute pants
and lookin' back now I can see me
oh man did I look cheesy
I wouldn't trade those days for nothin'
ah, it was 1980 somethin'

1970 somethin'...

ah it was 19 somethin'
