Oh, yeah
I saw Star Wars
At least eight times
Had the PacMan pattern memorized
And I've seen the stuff they put
Inside Stretch Armstrong, yeah
Well, I was Roger Staubach in my backyard
Had a shoebox full of baseball cards
And a couple of Evil Knievil scars
On my right arm.
Well, I was a kid when Elvis died
And my momma cried
Well, it was 1970 something
In the world that I grew up in
Farah Fawcett hairdo days
Bell bottoms and eight-track tapes
Looking back now I can see me
And, oh man, did I look cheesy
But I wouldn't trade
Those days for nothing
Ah, it was 1970 something
It was the dawning of a new decade
We got our first microwave
And Dad broke down and finally
Shaved them old sideburns off
I took the stickers
Off my Rubik's cube
Watched MTV all afternoon
My first love was Daisy Duke
In them cut-off jeans
A 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-Am's
Big hair and parachute pants
And looking back now I can see me
And, oh man, did I look cheesy
I wouldn't trade
Those days for nothing
Ah, it was 1980 something
Now I got a mortgage and an S.U.V
And all this responsibility
Makes me wish sometimes
It was 1980 something
In the world that I grew up in
Skating rinks and black Trans-Am's
Big hair and parachute pants
And looking back now I can see me
And, oh man, did I look cheesy
I wouldn't trade
Those days for nothing
Ah, it was 1980 something
1970 something
Ah, it was 19 something
