1979

Good Charlotte

7

Life was simple

Roger was workin 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 his kids and they'd go fishin

No need to work an extra job, there's no recession

Damn right, he smiled a lot, they'd lay awake at night so in love

It was a good good year

The kids were alright

Highway to Hell beat up Staying Alive

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

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

The kids were alright

Highway to Hell beat up Staying Alive

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

The kids were alright

Highway to Hell beat up Staying Alive

The Clash was on the radio

and mom and dad were still in love in 1979

It was a good good year

Disco couldn't survive

with the Dream Police and Rock & Roll High

Blondie put out Heart of Glass

And mom and dad bought their first house in 1979

It was a good good year

It was a good good year
