Lyrics

Born In The '70s

Taking gulps of big blue sea

Of Georgia peach and Texas tea

The sands of time stuck in your shoe

They make you cross, they make you blue

Whatever happened to you?

You were born in the seventies

You were born in the seventies

The ins and outs and colds and hots

Lost in space and parking lots

4:44s and 5:55s

They get me off, they get me high

So whatever happened to me?

I was born in the seventies

And you were born

You were born in the seventies

And we were born

We were born in the seventies

And we were born

We were born in the seventies
