Astral Drive - Summer of '76 Lyrics

I was young and green
Nearly seventeen
Rolling high
Smoking weed
I was dreaming dreams


Days went on and on
I tried to write my songs
Learned some chords
Kissed some girls
I was feeling strong


Ooh baby
Take me back to the summer of '76
Ooh baby
Take me back to the summer of '76


That summer
The summer of 76


But then the door slammed
On all my big plans
Next thing i know
I'm in the smoke
Working for the man


Starry eyed
But i was locked inside
No more dancing
Saying goodbye
To my paradise


Ooh baby
Take me back to the summer of '76
Ooh baby
Take me back to the summer of '76


That summer
The summer of 76


I guess we had our fun
Smoking in the sun
Dreaming on
Until september
Had to come along


What happened to
Michelle and jeannie too?
By the river
We were living
But we never knew


That summer
The summer of 76


Swimming pools and sexy girls
Hanging with my friends yeah
Feeling we could take the world
And the days would never end


Ooh baby
Take me back to the summer of '76
Ooh baby
Take me back to the summer of '76
