1976

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, didn't 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 won't 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, didn't 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 won't quit, that was 1976.



--- Instrumental ---



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, didn't 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 won't quit, that was 1976.



Yeah, that was 1976, didn't know who we were yet

Built a fire that just won't quit and that was 1976.



We built a fire that just won't quit, that was 1976...
