Intro: A-D-E-A-E-A
Rockie burned up the movie screen and I was turnin seventeen
Tie-dyed shirts and Levis jean, lookin cool at the Dairy Queen
Tryin to impress a young woman in her Sunday dress
Chorus
And that was 1976, didn’t know who I was yet
A pretty little blonde haired girl, stole my heart and changed my world
Two kids and a moonlit sky, a little love on a Friday night
Built a fire that just wont quit, that was 1976
Solo: A-D-E-A-E-A
My high school days I packed away, set my sights on a bigger stage
Jimmy Carter moved to DC, a Georgia boy just like me,
Life seemed easy, nothin much that we needed
Repeat Chorus
And that was 1976, didn’t know who I was yet
A pretty little blonde haired girl, stole my heart and changed my world
Two kids and a moonlit sky, a little love on a Friday night
Built a fire that just wont quit, that was 1976
Instrumental: A-D-A-E-A-D-A-E-D-A
Eight track tapes were still in style and Elvis was still alive
Wonder Woman sure looked fine, Bionic Man was still Prime Time
And that girl I liked, we kept on tryin till we got it right
Repeat Chorus
And that was 1976, didn’t know who I was yet
A pretty little blonde haired girl, stole my heart and changed my world
Two kids and a moonlit sky, a little love on a Friday night
Built a fire that just wont quit, that was 1976
Yeah, that was 1976, didn’t know who we were yet
Built a fire that just wont quit and that was 1976
We built a fire that just wont quit, that was 1976
