Rocky burned up the movie screen
When I was turnin' seventeen
Tie-dyed shirts and Levi jeans
Lookin' cool at the Dairy Queen
Tryin' to impress a young woman in her Sunday dress
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
And that was 1976
My high-school days are packed away
Set my sights on a bigger stage
Jimmy Carter moved to D.C.
A Georgia boy just like me
Life seemed easy, nothing much that we needed
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 won't quit
That was 1976
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
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
And that was 1976
Yeah that was 1976, didn't know who we were yet
Built a fire that just won't quit
That was 1976
We built a fire that just won't quit
That was 1976
