Good Charlotte - 1979

Oh oh ohhh
Oh oh ohhh

Life was simple
Roger was working 'round the clock to make a living
No computers, none of that, he used his two hands
Ignored the cold war
His wife would keep him warm
On the weekends
He'd load the car up with the kids and they'd go fishing
No need to work an extra job, there's no recession
Damn right he smiled a lot
They'd lay awake at night
So in love

It was a good good year
The kids were alright
"Highway to Hell" beat out "Stayin' Alive"
The Clash was on the radio
And mum and dad were still in love
in 1979
It was a good, good year

In the morning
Robin always woke up early in the kitchen
She'd make the coffee, pack his lunch and then she'd kiss him
And he would hold her tight
When they were newlyweds
He'd say maybe
And she would laugh, they knew they'd have another baby
She'd slave away all day until dinner was ready
And they would dance so slow to "Just the Way You Are"

It was a good, good year
The kids were alright
"Highway to Hell" beat out "Stayin' Alive"
The Clash was on the radio
And mum and dad were still in love
In 1979
It was a good, good year

All the decades and the years have passed
Not every family is built to last
No time can take away these memories
Remember when you said to me
That we'd be alright

Oh oh ohhh
The kids were alright
"Highway to Hell" beat out "Stayin' Alive"
The Clash was on the radio
And mum and dad were still in love
In 1979
It was a good, good year

Oh oh ohhh
Disco couldn't survive
With the Dream Police and Rock N Roll High
Blondie brought out "Heart Of Glass"
And mom and dad bought their first house
In 1979
It was a good, good year

It was a good, good year
