Rockie burned up the movie screen and I was turnin seventeen Tie-dyed shirts and Levis jean, lookin cool at the Dairy Queen Tryin to impress a young woman in her Sunday dress
And that was 1976, didnt know who I was yet A pretty little blonde haired girl stole my heart and changed my world Two kids and a moonlit sky, a little love on a Friday night Built a fire that just wont quit, that was 1976
My high school days I packed away, set my sights on a bigger stage Jimmy Carter moved to DC, a Georgia boy just like me, life seemed easy Nothin much that we needed
That was 1976, didnt know who I was yet A pretty little blonde haired girl stole my heart and changed my world Two kids and a moonlit sky, a little love on a Friday night Built a fire that just wont quit, that was 1976
[Instrumental Interlude]
Eight track tapes were still in style and Elvis was still alive Wonder Woman sure looked fine, Bionic Man was still Prime Time And that girl I liked, we kept on tryin till we got it right
And that was 1976, didnt know who I was yet A pretty little blonde haired girl stole my heart and changed my world Two kids and a moonlit sky, a little love on a Friday night Built a fire that just wont quit, that was 1976
Yeah, that was 1976, didnt know who we were yet Built a fire that just wont quit and that was 1976
