Jamie Grace - 1945 lyrics

rate me

Looking at the radio caught up in a dream

'Bout the days gone by when no one had a TV

Hopin' that the weather man would say good things

Like no rain on friday for the drive in movie

Little kids didn't have a care

There was love growin' up everywhere

But when I open my eyes and the dream stops playin

You can still find me somewhere saying

I shoulda been born in '45

In '54 I woulda been 9

Lovin' my record player by my side

That woulda been nice yeah, that woulda been nice

I shoulda been born in '45

My first pair of high heels in '59

White shirt, poodle skirt, silk hair tie

Dancing in the moonlight

That woulda been nice

Ooo ooh

Oh that woulda been nice

Ooo ooh

Boombox on my shoulder wit my favorite tape

I'm reppin my 8 tracks and my buckle up skates

How do I know about that you say

You say

You wear bell bottom jeans get a double take

From all the guys and the girls who look your way

Back then people didn't always agree

But the love goin round was revolutionary and

Even though the world was crazy

I'd still go if my dreams could take me oh

I shoulda been born in '65

In '74 I woulda been 9

Tryna' get home after playin outside

Racin' street lights, racin street lights

I shoulda been born in '65

I woulda been a teenager round '79

Teasing my hair so it looks just right

On a saturday night, yeah

That woulda been nice

Growin' up I never really had a care

There was love all the time and everywhere

And even though sometimes my world may get a little crazy

I find myself bein proud when I say

I coulda been born in '45

But the truth is I got here right on time

And I thank God for every day of life

It suits me just right, it suits me just right

And lovely 1991

That's the year that I come from

And I wouldn't wanna trade it for another time

I love this life yeah

I love this life

Ooo ooh

I love this life

Ooo ooh

I love this life

<br />
