In the year that I was born
The war was getting colder
She had diamonds on her shoulder 
As she filled Carnegie Hall
It was the age of JFK
His first State of the Union
You never know your future
They built the Berlin Wall
The year that I was born

A trial in Jerusalem
We lost Hemmingway
Polaris in the gray
They cracked genetic code
The Beatles in the cavern
A cellar full of noise
All the post-war girls and boys
In a world that might explode
The year that I was born

And America in space
Tanks rode to the border
Another new world order
The red, the white, the blue
There was West Side story
A minute man was flying
New elements half-dying
Catch twenty-two
The year that I was born

And I let today
Just drift away
And I watched the rain come down
The year that I was born
You had to count each penny
I guess that there weren't many
Love at work is what you need
And you had to move away
Had to find a new home
No longer on your own
Another mouth to feed
That was me
