Intro: Rocky burned up the movie screen and I was turnin seventeen Tie-dyed shirts and Levis jean, lookin cool at the Dairy Queen Tryin to impress a young woman in her Sunday dress Chorus: And 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 moonlit sky, a little love on a Friday night Built a fire that just wont quit, that was 1976 Solo: My high school days I packed away, set my sights on a bigger stage Jimmy Carter moved to DC, a Georgia boy just like me, Life seemed easy nothin 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 moonlit sky, a little love on a Friday night Built a fire that just wont quit, that was 1976 Interlude: 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 tryin till we got it right Chorus And 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 moonlit sky, a little love on a Friday night Built a fire that just wont quit, that was 1976 Yeah, that was 1976, didn't know who we were yet Built a fire that just wont quit and that was 1976 We built a fire that just wont quit, that was 1976
