1945 (Grace Jamie)

Looking at the radio caught up in a dream 'Bout the days gone by when no one had a TV Hopin' that the weather man would say good things Like no rain on friday for the drive in movie Little kids didn't have a care There was love growin' up everywhere But when I open my eyes and the dream stops playin You can still find me somewhere saying I shoulda been born in '45 In '54 I woulda been 9 Lovin' my record player by my side That woulda been nice yeah, that woulda been nice I shoulda been born in '45 My first pair of high heels in '59 White shirt, poodle skirt, silk hair tie Dancing in the moonlight That woulda been nice Ooo ooh Oh that woulda been nice Ooo ooh Boombox on my shoulder with my favorite tape I'm reppin my 8 tracks and my buckle up skates How do I know about that you say You say You wear bell bottom jeans get a double take From all the guys and the girls who look your way Back then people didn't always agree But the love goin round was revolutionary and Even though the world was crazy I'd still go if my dreams could take me oh I shoulda been born in '65 In '74 I woulda been 9 Tryna' get home after playin outside Racin' street lights, racin street lights I shoulda been born in '65 I woulda been a teenager round '79 Teasing my hair so it looks just right On a saturday night, yeah That woulda been nice Growin' up I never really had a care There was love all the time and everywhere And even though sometimes my world may get a little crazy I find myself bein proud when I say I coulda been born in '45 But the truth is I got here right on time And I thank God for every day of life It suits me just right, it suits me just right And lovely 1991 That's the year that I come from And I wouldn't wanna trade it for another time I love this life yeah I love this life Ooo ooh I love this life Ooo ooh I love this life
