1976

Rocky burned up the movie screen
 When I was turning seventeen
 Tie-dyed shirts and Levi jeans
 Looking cool at the Dairy Queen
 Trying to impress a young woman in her Sunday dress
 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
 And that was 1976
 ♪
 My high-school days are packed away
 Set my sights on a bigger stage
 Jimmy Carter moved to D.C.
 A Georgia boy just like me
 Life seemed easy
 Nothing 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
 And that was 1976
 ♪
 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 trying 'til we got it right
 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
 And that was 1976
 Yeah, that was 1976, didn't know who we were yet
 Built a fire that just won't quit
 That was 1976
 We built a fire that just won't quit
 That was 1976
