Mark Wills - 19 Somethin' Lyrics






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 Robert Staubach in my backyard
Had a shoe box full of baseball cards
And a couple Evil Knievel scars
On my right arm
I was a kid when Elvis died
And my momma cried

It was 1970 somethin'
In the world that I grew up in
Farrah Fawcett hairdo days
Bell bottoms and eight track tapes
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 1970 somethin'

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 M-TV all afternoon
My first love was Daisy Duke
And them cut-off jeans
Space Shuttle fell out of the sky
And the whole world cried

It was nineteen eighty-somethin'
And the world that I grew up in
Skatin' 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 nineteen eighty-somethin'

Now I've got a mortgage and an SUV
But all this responsibility
Makes me wish
Sometimes

That it was nineteen eighty-something
And the world that I grew up in
Skatin' 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 nineteen eighty-something
Nineteen seventy-something
Oh, it was nineteen somethin'

    Cledus T. Judd brought me back to this song.

  28. G.... ....

    I had a 1978 Trans Am with t-tops. Took out the 400 and put a built 455 in it. First run at the track with slicks I broke the transmission. Towed it home and there it sat for a year. I always started it and drove around in reverse. Then I finally saved enough for a built turbo 400. 1 run at the track it ran a 7.0 in the 1/8. 2 weeks later my daughter was born and I had to grow up. I sold it. And now 30 years later, I wish I still had it.

  29. B.... F....

    How did he memorize the Pac-Man pattern in 1970 something when that game wasn't even released in the US until October of 1980? He should have instead sung about seeing Space Invaders for the first time at the bowling alley, or playing the Atari 2600 at a friend's house.

    I played minecraft at least 8 times
    Had the wii sports glitches memorized
    And I’ve seen the stuff they put inside
    Playstations

    I was Spider-Man in my back yard
    Had a shoebox full of Pokémon cards
    And a couple of beyblade scars
    On my right arm
    Well, I was a kid when MJ died
    And my momma cried

    It was 2 thousand and something
    In the world that I grew up in
    LEGO Star Wars and coolmath games
    Club penguin I played all day
    Lookin back now I can see me
    Oh man was life so easy
    But I wouldn’t trade those days for nothin
    It was 2 thousand and somethin

    It was the dawning of a new decade
    When we loaded our first webpage
    And dad went out and finally gave
    That flatscreen
    Watched Nigahiga on old YouTube
    Monkey bars all afternoon
    Shook those woodchips out of my shoe
    And picked at weeds
    The Ender dragon fell out of the sky
    And everyone cried

    It was twenty ten or something
    In the world that I grew up in
    Squareball and black track pants
    Captain sparkles and 4chan
    Looking back now I can see me
    Oh man was life so easy
    But I wouldn’t trade those days for nothin
    It was twenty ten or somethin

  85. C.... a....
