Kenny Rogers - The Last Ten Years (Superman) lyrics

rate me

(Tommy Conners - David Williams)

Oh, the last ten years, it's been quite trip

Over thirty-six-hundred spins around without a cosmic slip

But within the realm of our atmosphere

We're 'bout as out of whack as we've been in a million years

We watched the Y2K scare in a panic

An' we watched as time proved Nostrodamus wrong

An' we watched as Mother Nature shook the planet

An' cellular replaced the telephone

We lost Charlie Brown, Ray Charles an' Johnny Cash

We even lost Superman, mhm.

Well, the last ten years, look at the hills we've climbed

The best golfer's black, the best rapper's white an' it's about damn time

But we best beware, there's a brand new fight, you see

An' I hate to say we might be our own worst enemy

We watched Oklahoma sifting through the damage

An' we watched a US President get caught

We watched shareholders watched their savings vanish

We all cried when we watched those towers fall

We lost Minnie Pearl, Ron Reagan and Sam Ahan

We even lost Superman, mhm.

Expensive gas an' free downloads

The dot-com boom, an' reality shows

What's gonna happen next is anybody's guess

Satellite radio and hybrid cars

Hand-held computers an' a trip to Mars

It's all become a part of who we are

In the last ten years.

In the last ten years

We lost George Harrison, John Paul and June Carter-Cash

Hell, we even lost Superman

Gonna miss you. Chris...<br><br>Thanks to thudord
