| Oh uh oh
|
| Life was simple,
|
| Roger was working round 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 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 uh oh)
|
| The kids were all right,
|
| «Highway to Hell"beat up «Stayin'Alive», (oh uh oh)
|
| The Clash was on the radio,
|
| And mum and dad were still in love,
|
| In 1979,
|
| It was a good, good year.
|
| 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».
|
| It was a good, good year, (oh uh oh)
|
| The kids were all right,
|
| «Highway to Hell"beat up «Stayin'Alive», (oh uh oh)
|
| The Clash was on the radio,
|
| And mum 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 all right.
|
| Oh uh oh
|
| The kids were all right,
|
| «Highway to Hell"beat up «Stayin'Alive», (oh uh oh)
|
| The Clash was on the radio,
|
| And mum and dad were still in love,
|
| In 1979,
|
| It was a good, good year.
|
| Oh uh oh
|
| Disco couldn’t survive,
|
| With the Dream Police and Rock 'N Roll High,
|
| Blondie powered 'Heart of Glass',
|
| And Mum &Dad bought their first house,
|
| In 1979,
|
| It was a good, good year.
|
| It was a good, good year. |
