I was born in the wrong year
I shoulda been born in 1970
When rock and roll was free, yeah
I would turn on the radio
And sing along with every melody
Like it was made for me
(Hey)
It took me 'til the age of 17
To hear what music used to be
My parents did their best
But religion had a funny way of robbing me (robbing me, robbing me)
And I remember how it felt the first time
Rock and roll was played for me
It took me to a place I've never been
Knew that I could never leave
And I was born in the wrong year
I shoulda been born in 1970
When rock and roll was free, yeah
And I would turn on the radio
And sing along with every melody
Like it was made for me
Time it just to find what I'm looking for
Person I have never been
Singing 'long to Freddie with the windows down
Learning how to live again
(Oh yeah woah)
I was born in the wrong year
I shoulda been born in 1970
When rock and roll was free, yeah
I would turn on the radio
And sing along with every melody
Like it was made for me
Yeah (Take me back, take me back)
Come on
Take me back (Take me back)
Take me back (Take me back)
Here we go, come on
Take me back (I was born in the wrong year)
(Take me back) (I shoulda been born in 1970)
Take me back (When rock and roll was free, yeah) (Take me back)
Everybody
Take me back (I would turn on the radio)
(Take me back) (And sing along with every melody)
Take me back (Like it was made for me) (Take me back)
Woah
I was born in the wrong year
I shoulda been born in 1970
When rock and roll was free, yeah (Take me back)
I would turn on the radio
And sing along with every melody
Like it was made for me (Take me back)
