A VCR and a DVD  
There wasn't none of that crap back in 1970 
We didn't know about a world wide web 
It was a whole different game being played  
Back when I was a kid 
You wanna get down in a cool way?  
Picture yourself on a beautiful day 
With the big bell bottoms and groovy long hair 
Just a walking in style with a portable CD player

Flash back to '72 
Another summer in the neighbrohood 
Hanging out with nothing to do 
Sometimes we go driving around in my sister's Pinto 
Crusing with the windows rolled down 
We listen to the radio station 
We were too damn poor to buy the 8-track tapes 
But it was a good time don't wanna be inside 
My momma wanna watch that TV 
All God damn night

I'd be in bed with the radio on 
I would listen to it all night long 
Just to hear my favorite song 
You'd have to wait but you could hear it on the AM radio

Things changed back in '75 
We were all growing up on the in and the outside 
We got in trouble with the police man 
We got busted for getting high  
In the back of my friend's van
