1979 Songtext / Lyric

Life was simple
Roger was workin' round the clock to make a living
No computer, none of that he used his 2 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 out "Stayin' Alive"
The Clash was on the radio
and Mom & 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 luch
and then she'd kiss him
And he would told 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 out "Stayin' Alive"
The Clash was on the radio
and Mom & Dad were still in love
in 1979
It was a good good year

Now 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 out "Stayin' Alive"
The Clash was on the radio
and Mom & 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 & Dad bought their first house
in 1979
It was a good good year
