1979

[Verse 1] Life was simple Roger was working around the clock to make a living No computers, none of that; he used his two hands Ignored the cold war, his wife would keep him warm On the weekends He'd load the car up with his kids and they'd go fishing No need to work an extra job, there's no recession Damn right, he smiled a lot, they'd lay awake at night so in love [Chorus] It was a good good year The kids were alright "Highway to Hell" beat up "Staying Alive" The Clash was on the radio And mom and dad were still in love in 1979 It was a good good year [Verse 2] In the morning Robin always woke up early in the kitchen She'd make the coffee, pack his lunch and then she'd kiss him And he would hold her tight, when they were newlyweds He'd say maybe And she would laugh, they knew they'd have another baby She'd slave away all day until dinner was ready And they would dance so slow to "Just the Way You Are" [Chorus] [Bridge] All the decades and the years have passed Not every family is built to last No time can take away these memories Remember when you said to me, that we'd be alright [Chorus] [Verse 3] Disco couldn't survive With the "Dream Police" and "Rock & Roll High" Blondie put out "Heart of Glass" And mom and dad bought their first house in 1979 It was a good good year [x2]
