Nineteen Somethin' - Ameritz Tribute Tracks
I saw Star Wars at least eight times
Had the Pacman pattern memorized
And I've seen the stuff
They put inside Stretch Armstrong
Well I was Roger Stauback in my backyard
Had a shoebox full of baseball cards
And a couple of Evil Knievil scars on my right arm
Well 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 hair-do days
Bellbottoms and 8-track tapes
Looking back now I can see me
Oh man did I look cheesy
I wouldn't trade those days for nothin'
Oh it was 1970 somethin'
It was the dawning of a new decade
When 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 1980 somethin'
In the world that I grew up in
Skating rinks and black Trans-Ams
Big hair and parachute pants
And looking 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'
Now I've got a mortgage and an SUV
But all this responsibility
Makes me wish sometimes
It was 1980 something
In the world that I grew up in
Skating rinks and black Trans-Ams
Big hair and parachute pants
And looking back now I can see me
Oh man did I look cheesy
I wouldn't trade those days for nothin'
Oh it was 1980 somethin'
19 Seventy Somethin'
Oh it was 19 somethin'
