1979

1979
Life was simple,
Roger was working round the clock to make a living
No computers, none of that
He used his two hands
Ignore the cold war
His wife would keep him warm
On the weekends,
He'd load the car up with the kids and they'd go fishing
No need to work an extra job, there's no recession
Damn right he smiled a lot
They lay awake at night so in love

It was a good good year (oh oh oh)
The kids were alright
"Highway To Hell", beat up, "Staying alive" (oh oh oh)
The Clash was on the radio
And Mom and Dad were still in love in 1979
It was a good good year
In the morning,
Robyn always woke up early in the kitchen
She'd make the coffee black and large and then she'd kiss him
And he would hold her tight,
When they were newly weds
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
It was a good good year (oh oh oh)
The kids were alright
"Highway To Hell", beat up, "Staying alive" (oh oh oh)
The Clash was on the radio
And Mom and Dad were still in love in 1979
It was a good good year
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

It was a good good year (oh oh oh)
The kids were alright
"Highway To Hell", beat up, "Staying alive" (oh oh oh)
The Clash was on the radio
And Mom and Dad were still in love in 1979
It was a good good year
This girl couldn't survive
With her dream police,
And Rock 'N Roll high (oh oh oh)
And Mom and Dad bought their first house in 1979
It was a good good year
It was a good good year
