Lyrics

Bubba Helms

[Verse 1]

He doesn't live here no more

He died in Tennessee

He doesn't live here no more

He died in Tennessee

[Chorus]

I wanna party in 1984

I wanna party in '84

I wanna party in 1984

I wanna party in '84

[Verse 2]

I've never been in a war

I want to feel what it's like

I'm going down to Michigan and Trumbull to see a car alight

[Chorus]

I wanna party like 1984

I wanna party in '84

I wanna party in 1984

I wanna party in '84

[Verse 3]

This city of lines, I'm gonna have some fun

I'm gonna flip a cop car and then I'm gonna run, hey

I smoked a bad one, I smoked a bad one, haha

I smoked a bad one, I smoked a bad one, haha

I smoked a bad one, I smoked a bad one, haha

I smoked a bad one, I smoked a bad one

[Chorus]

I wanna party in 1984

I wanna party in '84

I wanna party in 1984

I wanna party in '84
