19 Somethin' lyrics by Mark Wills
I saw Star Warsat least eight times
Had the Pacman
pattern memorised
I've seen the stuff
they put inside
Stretch Armstrong
Oh, I was Roger Staubach
in my backyard
Had a shoebox
full of baseball cards
And a couple of Evil
Knievil scars on my right arm
I was a kid when Elvis died
and my momma cried
It was nineteen
seventy something
In the world that I grew up in
Farah Fawcett hairdo days
Bell bottoms
and eight track tapes
Looking back now I can see me
Oh man, did I look cheesy
But I wouldn't trade
those days for nothing
Oh, 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
my Rubik's cube
Watched MTV all afternoon
My first love was Daisy
Duke in them cutoff jeans
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 TransAms
Big hair and parachute pants
And looking back
now I can see me
Oh man, did I look cheesy
but I wouldn't trade
those days for nothing
Oh, it was nineteen
eighty something
Now I got a mortgage
and an SUV
But all this responsibility
makes me wish sometimes
It was nineteen
eighty something
In the world that I grew up in
Skating rinks
and black TransAms
Big hair and parachute pants
And looking back
now I can see me
Oh man, did I look cheesy
but I wouldn't trade
those days for nothing
Oh, it was nineteen
eighty something
