When I was a kid, Zoom was a TV show
And I had a telephone hangin' on the kitchen wall
We all grow up, some a little less than others
Turn into some version of our fathers and our mothers
I sang about 1985
19 years after 1985
Seems like about a million years ago
Seen a lotta bands like us blow up, and come and go
And I've lived a lifetime or three
Full of laughter and tears
Probably ten thousand beers
A couple wedding rings
And even if I could
I wouldn't change a thing
Now I've got kids, still feel like one myself
And I can honestly tell my wife that she's my best friend
Staying young (staying young)
Isn't as easy as it could be (It's not as easy as it could be)
I've put a on a few pounds but I still love being me
I sang about 1985
19 years after 1985
Seems like about a million years ago
Seen a lotta bands like us blow up, and come and go
And I've lived a lifetime or three
Full of laughter and tears
Probably ten thousand beers
A couple wedding rings
And even if I could
I wouldn't change a thing
Well, maybe I wouldn't have bailed on Green Day
'Cause Dookie got so popular
And maybe I should have learned a second language
Or bought stock in apple
Sold everything that I own
And bet it all on the Steelers in the 09 Super Bowl
I still sing 1985 (home sweet home)
36 years after 1985
Seems like about a million years ago
Seen a lotta bands, good friends and family come and go
And I've lived a lifetime or ten
Full of laughter and tears
Probably fifty thousand beers
A couple wedding rings
And even if I could
I wouldn't change a thing
