Rocky burned up the movie screen
I was turning 17
Tie dyed shirts and Levi jeans
Looking cool at the Dairy Queen
Trying to impress
A young woman in her Sunday dress

-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 won't quit
That was 1976

My high school days I packed away
Set my sights on a bigger stage
Jimmy Carter moved to D.C.
A Georgia boy just like me
Life seemed easy
Nothin' much thta 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 won't quit
That was 1976

8-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 trying til' we got it right

-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 won't quit
That was 1976

That was 1976
Didn't know who we were yet
Built a fire that just won't quit

That was 1976
Built a fire that just won't quit
That was 1976
