1976 Lyrics by Alan Jackson

Good Time

2008

[Verse 1]
Rocky burned up the movie screen
When I was turning seventeen
Tie-dyed shirts and Levi jeans
Looking cool at the Dairy Queen
Trying to impress a young woman in her Sunday dress

[Chorus]
That was 1976, didn't know who I was yet
A pretty little blonde-haired girl
Stole my heart and changed my world
Two kids and a moonlite sky
A little love on a Friday night
Built a fire that just won't quit
And that was 1976

[Verse 2]
My high-school days are packed away
Set my sights on a bigger stage
Jimmy Carter moved to D.C
A Georgia boy just like me
Life seemed easy, nothing much that we needed

[Chorus]
That was 1976, didn't know who I was yet
A pretty little blonde-haired girl
Stole my heart and changed my world
Two kids and a moonlite sky
A little love on a Friday night
Built a fire that just won't quit
And that was 1976

[Verse 3]
Eight-track tapes were still in style
And Elvis was still alive
Wonder Woman sure looked fine
Bionic Man was still prime time
And that girl I liked
We kept on trying till we got it right

[Chorus]
That was 1976, didn't know who I was yet
A pretty little blonde-haired girl
Stole my heart and changed my world
Two kids and a moonlite sky
A little love on a Friday night
Built a fire that just won't quit
And that was 1976

[Outro]
Yeah that was 1976, didn't know who we were yet
Built a fire that just won't quit
That was 1976
We built a fire that just won't quit
That was 1976
