I saw Star Wars at least eight times Had the Pac Man pattern memorized And I've seen the stuff they put inside Stretch Armstrong I was Roger Staubach in my back yard Had a shoe box full of baseball cards And a couple of Evel Knievel scars On my right arm I was a kid when Elvis died And my momma cried It was nineteen seventy somethin' In the world that I grew up in Farrah Fawcett harido days Bell bottoms and eight tracks tapes Lookin' back now I can see me And oh man did I look cheesy But I wouldn't trade those days for nothin' Nineteen seventy somethin' It was the dawning of a new decade When we got our first microwave And Dad broke down and finally shaved Them old sideburns off I took the stickers off of my Rubik's Cube Watched MTV all afternoon And 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 somethin' In the world that I grew up in Skatin' rinks and black Trans Am's 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' Nineteen eighty somethin' Now I've got a mortgage and an S.U.V. And all this responsibility Makes me wish sometimes It was nineteen seventy somethin' In the world that I grew up in Farrah Fawcett harido days Bell bottoms and eight tracks tapes Lookin' back now I can see me And oh man did I look cheesy But I wouldn't trade those days for nothin' Nineteen seventy somethin' Oh was it eighty somethin' It was nineteen somethin'
