I saw star wars atleast eight times
Had the pac-man pattern memorized
I've seen the stuff they put inside Stretch Armstrong
yeah

I was roger style back in my backyard
Had a shoe box full of baseball cards
And a couple of Evil Canivil scars on my right arm

I was a kid when Elvis died
And my mama tried

It was 1970 something
In the world that i grew up in
Fara Faucett hairdoo days, bell bottoms and a-track tapes
Lookin' back now I can see me
And oh man did I look cheesy
I wouldn't trade those days for nothin'
Oh, it was 1970 somethin'

It was the dawning of a new decade
We got our first microwave
That broke down by me shaving those sideburns off
I took the stickers off of my Rubix Cube
Watched MTV all afternoon
My first love was Daisy Duke
Wit 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
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
I wouldn't trade those days for nothin'
Oh, it was 1980 somethin'

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

It was 1980 somethin'
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
I wouldn't trade those days for nothin'
Oh, it was 1980 somethin'

1970 somethin'

Oh, it was 19 somethin'
