Alex Orellana - Back to the 80s Lyrics

We had our mixtapes and Walkmans
Neon dreams in our hands
Saturday morning cartoons
Playing Super Mario and Ms Pac-Man

Life seemed so simple
No screens to tie us down
We'd ride our bikes till sunset
In that small hometown

Take me back to the 80s
Where we lived so carefree
Big hair and rock ballads
Oh the way it used to be
Take me back to the 80s
When we danced in the street
With boom boxes and shoulder pads
To that retro beat

We wore our denim jackets
With patches and our pins
Spent our nights at drive-ins
Not caring where we'd been
MTV was playing
Music videos on repeat
We believed in future dreams
And everything was sweet

Life was an adventure
No phones to keep us home
We'd sneak out late at night
Feeling so grown

Take me back to the 80s
Where we lived so carefree
Big hair and rock ballads
Oh the way it used to be
Take me back to the 80s
When we danced in the street
With boom boxes and shoulder pads
To that retro beat

Now we're grown and times have changed
But those memories remain
We look back and smile
At those days so wild

Take me back to the 80s
Where we lived so carefree
Big hair and rock ballads
Oh the way it used to be
Take me back to the 80s
When we danced in the street
With boom boxes and shoulder pads
To that retro beat

We'll keep the spirit alive
With those echoes in our mind
Generation X forever
In the sands of time
