Astral Drive - Summer of 76 (Sunset) 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

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

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

Take me back to the summer of 76
That summer
The summer of 76
