In '85, Tuesday morning, Came alive, I didn't know ya Route 66 is gone, And Reagan's here, It won't be long
Nintendo comes, Live Aid, too, Back to the Future Where were you, While I spent all my days In Catholic school?
In '89, The dream begins, First in line to California, Pete Rose is banned for good, The Simpsons come to Hollywood, Russia leaves Afghanistan, Flight 103 ends Pan Am, Bush is here This is the year That I feel most alone
No more Countin' down the hours No more Wishin' you were here I stopped believin', Although Journey told me 'don't' Before I call it a day, Maybe this'll be my year Maybe this'll be my year Maybe this'll be my year Maybe this'll be my year
In '92, A boy is born, The skies were blue In Ohio Boris Yeltsin chills, Freddie dies, But Queen is still, Barcelona has the games, Lady Di is single again, Clinton wins, And I still dream That I'll find you someday
In '97, A baby girl, Adds some heaven to the world, Tony Blair tips the scales, Elton sings for the Princess of Wales, Microsoft buys into Mac, My dad has a second heart attack, And Train leaves San Francisco In a thousand-dollar van
