19 Somethin

Mark Wills

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 Stauback in my back yard had a shoebox full of baseball cards
And a couple of Evel Knievel scars on my right arm

Well, I was a kid when Elvis died and my mama cried

Chorus 1

It was 1970 somethin' in the world that I grew up in
Farrah Faucett hairdo days bell Bottoms and 8-track tapes
Lookin back now I can see me, and oh man did I look cheesy
But I wouldn't trade those days for nothin', aww it was 1970 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 of my Rubix Cube watched MTV all afternoon
My first love was Daisy Duke in them cut off jeans

A space shuttle fell out of the sky and the whole world cried

Chorus 2

It was 1980 something in the world that I grew up in
Skating rinks and black Trans Ams, big hair and parachute pants
Lookin back now I can see me, oh man did I look cheesy
But I wouldn't trade those days for nothin', aww it was 1980 something

Now I got a mortgage and an SUV but all this responsibility makes me wish sometimes (sometimes)

Repeat Chorus 2

1970 something, aw, it was 19 something
