Letra de 1945

[Verse I]
Looking at the radio caught up in a dream
About the days gone by when no one had a TV
Hoping 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

[Chorus I]
[1] I shoulda been born in '45
In '54 I woulda been 9
White shirt, poodle skirt, silk hair tie
Dancing in the moonlight
That woulda been nice
[2] Ooo ooh
Oh that woulda been nice
Ooo ooh

[Verse II]
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

[Channel I]
Even though the world was crazy
I'd still go if my dreams could take me oh

[Chorus II]
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

[Puente]
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

[Chorus III]
[1] 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
[2] Ooo ooh
I love this life
Ooo ooh
I love this life

[fade]
