19 Somethin' (Greatest Hits Version)

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, yeah

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 mama cried

It was 1970 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'

Oh, it was 1970 somethin'

It was the dawning of a new decade

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 1980 somethin'

In the world that I grew up in

Skatin' rinks and black Trans Ams

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'

Oh, it was 1980 somethin'

Now I've got a mortgage and an SUV

And all this responsibility

Makes me wish (wish) sometimes (sometimes)

It was 1980 somethin'

In the world that I grew up in

Skatin' 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'

Ah, it was 19 somethin'
