Ah, memory lane... wanna take a trip there with me?

... Posted in Memory Lane

I heard a song on the radio today that took me back a few years.... no, it wasn't something by Wham! or Luba, or Air Supply....lol

It was a song by a guy named Mark Wills... yup, I listen to country... not just country gospel, either...

Anyway, it's called 19 Somethin', and boy, didn't it make me smile... and almost tear up a bit too!!!

I found a place you can listen to it, and here are the lyrics...

19 Somethin'

Written By: Chris DuBois & David Lee

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 Well, I was Roger Staubach 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 momma cried Chorus: It was nineteen seventy something In the world that I grew up in Farrah Fawcett hairdo days Bell bottoms and eight track tapes Looking back now I can see me And, oh man, did I look cheesy But I wouldn't trade those days for nothing Ah, it was nineteen seventy something 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 Chorus: It was nineteen eighty something In the world that I grew up in Skating rinks and black Trans Am's Big hair and parachute pants And looking back now I can see me And, oh man, did I look cheesy But I wouldn't trade those days for nothing Ah, it was nineteen eighty something Now I got a mortgage and an S.U.V. And all this responsibility Makes me wish sometimes Repeat 2nd chorus Nineteen seventy something Ah, it was nineteen something
