Lyrics 19 Something (Re-Recorded) - 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 Staubach back in my backyard
Had a shoebox 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-something
In the world that I grew up in
Farrah Fawcett hair-do days
Bell-bottoms and eight-track tapes
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 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 Rubik's cube
Watched MTV all afternoon
And my first love was Daisy Duke in them cut off jeans
Space Shuttle fell out of the sky
And the whole world cried

It was 1980-something
In the world that I grew up in
Skating 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 1980-something, yeah

Now, I got a mortgage and an SUV
And 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
Lookin' back now, I can see me
Oh, man, did I look cheesy
I wouldn't trade those days for nothin'
Oh, it was 1980-something

1970-something
Aw, it was 19-something
Come on
