Summer of '76

I was young and green Nearly seventeen Rolling high Smoking weed I was dreaming dreams Days went on and on I tried to write my songs Learned some chords Kissed some girls I was feeling strong Ooh baby Take me back to the summer of ’76 Ooh baby Take me back to the summer of ’76 That summer The summer of 76 But then the door slammed On all my big plans Next thing i know I’m in the smoke Working for the man Starry eyed But i was locked inside No more dancing Saying goodbye To my paradise Ooh baby Take me back to the summer of ’76 Ooh baby Take me back to the summer of ’76 That summer The summer of 76 I guess we had our fun Smoking in the sun Dreaming on Until september Had to come along What happened to Michelle and jeannie too? By the river We were living But we never knew That summer The summer of 76 Swimming pools and sexy girls Hanging with my friends yeah Feeling we could take the world And the days would never end Ooh baby Take me back to the summer of ’76 Ooh baby Take me back to the summer of ’76
