(written by Don Reid) I grew up a child of the 50s Learned to dance to the beat of rock and roll Television was my friend I Love Lucy, Rin Tin Tin Kissed my first girl when I was 10 years old. Took a turn for the worse in the 60s Saw some real people die on TV I learned love's hard cold facts Paid my first income tax One small step for the man I'm gonna be. Chorus: I'll never feel bad 'bout the times that we had I'll never look back in regret The heaven you gave I will treasure and save 'Cause it might be as close as I get. The 70s were 10 years of reruns News of Watergate was nothin' new The Democrats got it, we fell in love again When Elvis died, we all knew that we could too. Now I'm facin' the most of the 80s Old enough to run for President It's hard to think it's me, the father of three Oh America, I don't know where it went. Chorus: I'll never feel bad 'bout the times that we had I'll never look back in regret The heaven you gave I will treasure and save 'Cause it might be as close as I get. The heaven you gave I will treasure and save 'Cause it might be as close as I get... |
