In '85,
Tuesday morning,
Came alive,

I didn't know ya
Route 66 is gone,
And Reagan's here,

It won't be long

Nintendo comes,

Live Aid, too,
Back to the Future
Where were you,

While I spent all my days
In Catholic school?


In '89,
The dream begins,
First in line to California,

Pete Rose is banned for good,
The Simpsons come to Hollywood,
Russia leaves Afghanistan,

Flight 103 ends Pan Am,
Bush is here
This is the year

That I feel most alone

No more

Countin' down the hours
No more
Wishin' you were here

I stopped believin',
Although Journey told me 'don't'
Before I call it a day,

Maybe this'll be my year
Maybe this'll be my year
Maybe this'll be my year

Maybe this'll be my year

In '92,

A boy is born,
The skies were blue
In Ohio

Boris Yeltsin chills,
Freddie dies,
But Queen is still,

Barcelona has the games,
Lady Di is single again,
Clinton wins,

And I still dream
That I'll find you someday


In '97,
A baby girl,
Adds some heaven to the world,

Tony Blair tips the scales,
Elton sings for the Princess of Wales,
Microsoft buys into Mac,

My dad has a second heart attack,
And Train leaves San Francisco
In a thousand-dollar van


No more
Countin' down the hours

No more
Wishin' you were here
I stopped believin',

Although Journey told me 'don't'
Before I call it a day,
Maybe this'll be my year

Maybe this'll be my year
Maybe this'll be my year
Maybe this'll be my year


2001,
The towers fell,

The World is stunned,
I wish I knew ya
I was on a plane,
The world would never be the same
The artificial heart is born--

Ironic when New York's is torn out
Woah-oah-oah-oah

2004,
Began in May,

On tour when I met ya
Facebook joins the Internet,
Oldsmobile joins the cassette
I met your family
It took a while until you kissed me,

But when you did,
I finally felt at home

I stopped believin',
Although Journey told me 'don't'

Before I call it a day,
Maybe this'll be my year
Maybe this'll be my year
Maybe this'll be my year
Maybe this'll be my year


2012,
And all I know
Is everybody comes and goes
Everybody sings and cries,
Makes the grade and takes the prize
In somethin', nothin', I don't care,
Because I always know that you'll be here

With me
