1979
Life was simpleRoger was workin round the clock to make a livingNo computers, none of that; he used his two handsIgnored the cold war, his wife would keep him warm
On the weekendsHe'd load the car up with his kids and they'd go fishinNo need to work an extra job, there's no recessionDamn right, he smiled a lot, they'd lay awake at night so in love
It was a good good yearThe kids were alright"Highway to Hell" beat up "Staying Alive"The Clash was on the radioand mom and dad were still in love in 1979It was a good good year
In the morningRobin always woke up early in the kitchenShe'd make the coffee, pack his lunch and then she'd kiss himAnd he would hold her tight, when they were newlyweds
He'd say maybeAnd she would laugh, they knew they'd have another babyShe'd slave away all day until dinner was readyAnd they would dance so slow to "Just the Way You Are"
It was a good good yearThe kids were alright"Highway to Hell" beat up "Staying Alive"The Clash was on the radioand mom and dad were still in love in 1979It was a good good year
All the decades and the years have passedNot every family is built to lastNo time can take away these memoriesRemember when you said to me, that we'd be alright
The kids were alright"Highway to Hell" beat up "Staying Alive"The Clash was on the radioand mom and dad were still in love in 1979It was a good good year
Disco couldn't survivewith the "Dream Police" and "Rock & Roll High"Blondie put out "Heart of Glass"And mom and dad bought their first house in 1979It was a good good yearIt was a good good year.
