In '85,

Tuesday morning,

Came alive,

I didn't know ya

Route 66 is gone,

And reagan's here,

It won't be long

Nintendo comes,

Live aid, too,

Back to the future

Where were you,

While i spent all my days

 In catholic school?

In '89,

The dream begins,

First in line to california,

Pete rose is banned for good,

The simpsons come to hollywood,

Russia leaves afghanistan,

Flight 103 ends pan am,

Bush is here

This is the year

 That i feel most alone

Chorus

No more

Countin' down the hours

No more

Wishin' you were here

I stopped believin',

Although journey told me 'don't'

 Before i call it a day,

Maybe this'll be my year

Maybe this'll be my year

Maybe this'll be my year

Maybe this'll be my year

In '92,

A boy is born,

The skies were blue

In ohio

Boris yeltsin chills,

Freddie dies,

But queen is still,

Barcelona has the games,

Lady di is single again,

Clinton wins,

And i still dream

 That i'll find you someday

In '97,

A baby girl,

Adds some heaven to the world,

Tony blair tips the scales,

Elton sings for the princess of wales,

Microsoft buys into mac,

My dad has a second heart attack,

And train leaves san francisco

 In a thousand-dollar van

Chorus again

2001,

The towers fell,

The world is stunned,

I wish i knew ya

I was on a plane,

The world would never be the same

The artificial heart is born--

Ironic when new york's is torn out

Woah-oah-oah-oah

2004,

Began in may,

On tour when i met ya

Facebook joins the internet,

Oldsmobile joins the cassette

I met your family

It took a while until you kissed me,

But when you did,

 I finally felt at home

Chorus

2012,

And all i know

Is everybody comes and goes

Everybody sings and cries,

Makes the grade and takes the prize

In somethin', nothin', i don't care

Because i always know that you'll be here

With me
