Butch Walker - This'll Be My Year lyrics

[Verse 1] 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 [Chorus] No more counting down the hours No more wishing you were here I stopped believing Although Journey told me don't Before I call it a day Maybe this will be my year [Verse 2] 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 [Chorus] [Verse 3] 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 2004, began in May On tour when I met ya Facebook joins the Internet Oldsmobile joins the ca**ette I met your family It took a while until you kissed me But when you did I finally felt at home [Bridge] I stopped believing Although Journey told me don't Before I call it a day Maybe this will be my year [Outro] 2012 and all I know Is everybody comes and goes Everybody sings and cries Makes the grade and takes the prize In something, nothing, I don't care Because I always know that you'll be here With me
