Nineteen Somethin' Lyrics - Mark Wills

Saw Star Wars at least eight times 

Had the Pac-Man pattern memorized 

And I've seen the stuff they put inside 

Stretch Armstrong (yeah) 

I was Roger Staubach in my backyard 

Had a shoebox full of baseball cards 

And a couple of Evil Knievel scars 

On my right arm 

I was a kid when Elvis died 

And my momma cried 

It was nineteen seventy somethin' 

And the world that I grew up in 

Farrah Fawcett hairdo days 

Bell bottoms and eight track tapes 

Lookin' back now I can see me 

Oh man, did I look cheesy 

But I wouldn't trade those days for nothin' 

Oh it was nineteen seventy-somethin' 

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 Rubik's Cube 

Watched M-TV all afternoon 

My first love was Daisy Duke 

And them cut-off jeans 

Space Shuttle fell out of the sky 

And the whole world cried 

It was nineteen eighty-somethin' 

And the world that I grew up in 

Skatin' rinks and black Trans-Ams 

Big hair and parachute pants 

And lookin' back now I can see me 

Oh man, did I look cheesy 

I wouldn't trade those days for nothin' 

Oh it was nineteen eighty-somethin' 

Now I've got a mortgage and an SUV 

But all this responsibility 

Makes me wish 

Sometimes 

That it was nineteen eighty-something 

And the world that I grew up in 

Skatin' rinks and black Trans-Ams 

Big hair and parachute pants 

And lookin' back now I can see me 

Oh man, did I look cheesy 

I wouldn't trade those days for nothin' 

Oh it was nineteen eighty-something 

Nineteen seventy-something 

Oh, it was nineteen somethin'
