19 Somethin Live by Mark Wills Lyrics

Genre: country | Year: 2005

[Intro]
So, you guys know this one, right?
Well, thank y'all very much for makin' this song right here the number one played song of the year
Thank you for makin' it spend seven weeks at number one
Country music fans, we love ya!
Are you ready to do a lil' singin' out here with us?
One, two, one, two, three, go

[Verse 1]
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 backyard
Had a shoebox full of baseball cards
A couple of Evel Knievel scars on my right arm
I was a kid when Elvis died
And my mama cried

[Chorus]
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
But I wouldn't trade those days for nothin'
It was 1970-something, yeah
[Verse 2]
Well, it was the dawning of a new decade
And 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
A space shuttle fell out of the sky
And the whole world cried

[Chorus]
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'
Oh, it was 1980-something

[Bridge]
Now I got a mortgage and an SUV
But all this responsibility
Makes me wish (Wish) sometimes (Sometimes)

[Chorus]
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
And oh, man, did I look cheesy
But I wouldn't trade those days for nothin'
Oh, it was 1980-something
1970-something
Aw, it was 19-something
[Outro]
Thank y'all very much
A big hand for the band!
