verse 1
Rockie burned up the movie screen and I was turnin' seventeen
Tie-dyed shirts and Levis jean, lookin' cool at the Dairy Queen
Tryin' to impress a young woman in her Sunday dress.

chorus
And that was 1976, didn't know who I was yet
A pretty little blonde haired girl stole my heart and changed my world
Two kids and a moonlit'sky, a little love on a Friday night
Built a fire that just won't quit, that was 1976.

verse 2
My high school days I packed away, set my sights on a bigger stage
Jimmy Carter moved to DC, a Georgia boy just like me, life seemed easy
Nothin much that we needed.

verse 3
That was 1976, didn't know who I was yet
A pretty little blonde haired girl stole my heart and changed my world
Two kids and a moonlit'sky, a little love on a Friday night
Built a fire that just won't quit, that was 1976.

--- Instrumental Interlude ---

verse 4
Eight track tapes were still in style and Elvis was still alive
Wonder Woman sure looked fine, Bionic Man was still Prime Time
And that girl I liked, we kept on tryin' 'til we got it right.

chorus
And that was 1976, didn't know who I was yet
A pretty little blonde haired girl stole my heart and changed my world
Two kids and a moonlit'sky, a little love on a Friday night
Built a fire that just won't quit, that was 1976.

verse 5
Yeah, that was 1976, didn't know who we were yet
Built a fire that just won't quit and that was 1976.
We built a fire that just won't quit, that was 1976
