"Nineteen Somethin'" Lyrics

(Chris DuBois - David Lee)

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, yeah.

Well, I was Roger Staubach back in my back yard
Had a shoebox full of baseball cards
And a couple of Evil Kinevil scars on my right arm
Well, I was a kid when Elvis died and my mama cried.

It was nineteen-seventy 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',
Aw, It was nineteen-seventy something.

It was the dawning of a new decade we got our first microwave
Dad broke down and finally shaved them old 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
A space Shuttle fell out of the sky and the whole world cried.

It was nineteen-eighty 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',
Aw, It was nineteen-eighty something.

Now I got a mortgage and an SUV but all this responsibility
Makes me wish sometimes, sometimes.

It was nineteen-eighty 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',
Aw, It was nineteen-eighty something.

Nineteen-seventy something.
Aw, it was nineteen something...
