1972 Lyrics by Jake Owen

Days of Gold (Deluxe Edition)

2013

[Verse 1]
1972
Daddy drove a Nova, it was sky blue
He worked at a record store after school
Called Sympathy for the Vinyl

1972
Turntable in the basement, Major Cool
A hippie girl, couple cold beers, spinnin' tunes
You got your own rock n' roll revival

[Pre-Chorus]
Girl you know they did it right
So come on over tonight

[Chorus]
I’m gonna rock you like Zeppelin
And roll you like the Stones
Blow out them speakers in my old headphones
Gonna fly like an eagle
When I drop a needle in the groove, alright

I’m gonna get them LPs down from the attic
With a pop and a hiss and a little bit of static
We’ll be chillin' like a villain on some Dylan
While we’re killin' some brews, alright
We're gonna kick it like the kids did in 1972

[Verse 2]
So it'll just be me and you?
Playing air drums with The Who’s Keith Moon
You know them good ones always die too soon
Like Jimmy, Jim and Joplin

Yea, kickin back, cuttin' loose
Sippin on Jack, that’s what we do
It don’t matter baby girl 'cause in a few
You’re gonna hear heaven a-knockin'

Look out!

[Chorus]
I’m gonna rock you like Zeppelin
And roll you like the Stones
Blow out them speakers in my old headphones
Gonna fly like an eagle
When I drop a needle in the groove, alright

I’m gonna get them LPs down from the attic
With a pop and a hiss and a little bit of static
We’ll be chillin' like a villain on some Dylan
While we’re killin' some brews, alright
Let's kick it like the kids did in 1972

[Bridge: Instrumental]

[Chorus]
Yeah, I’m gonna rock you like Zeppelin
And roll you like the Stones
Blow out them speakers in my old headphones
Gonna fly like an eagle
When I drop a needle in the groove

I’m gonna get them LPs down from the attic
With a pop and a hiss and a little bit of static
We’ll be chillin' like a villain on some Dylan
While we’re killin' some brews, alright
Let's kick it like the kids did in 1972
Yeah, we're gonna kick it like the kids did in 1972
