80s Kid
Rick Amburgey/Chris Sligh

Verse 1:
It was Mr. Rogers on the TV, cartoon Mickey Mouse
Long nights of Lightsaber fights in the backyard of my house
Riding bikes without helmets
Without parents there to tell us
We were going too fast or we were gonna fall down
We dreamed of that first trip to Toys’R’Us
And we’d sing ‘bout never growing up
And we listened to momma’s vinyl
Of Alabama, Bon Jovi, George Jones and Lionel
Yeah...

CHORUS:
I’m an 80s kid -I guess nothing’s ever been
Quite as perfect again
As it was back then
I’m still holding tight to mem’ries I’ll never forget
Cuz I’m an 80s kid

Verse 2:
While mama spent a summer wondering who it was that killed JR
I had my first crush on Daisy Duke, watching that BetaMax VCR
Killed ducks on Nintendo
Dreaming bout being Dan Marino
Till Winnie Cooper showed up to break my heart, yeah...

Repeat Chorus

Bridge:
It’s easy when you’re a kid, before bills and hard times
But nobody could love their childhood more than I love mine, cuz…

Repeat Chorus
