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 isn't 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
