Intro: A-D-E-A-E-A

Rockie 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: A-D-E-A-E-A
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

Repeat 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

Instrumental: A-D-A-E-A-D-A-E-D-A

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

Repeat 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
