Lyrics
"Those Were The Days"
Words & music by: Scott Kovarik
©2005
From Topanga Canyon to Kana Dune
Twenty miles of sand
They call it Malibu
My dreams were born and died there
85' and the chicks were free
We had microwave ovens and MTV
But no AOL
On the highway and we never looked back
We were livin' large in our Cadillac
(Big shiny and black)
A house in the canyon - boy George we had it
Made, hey, eh,
Those were the days
I still hear the doves cry
And we thought that we could stop the rain
And live forever
Those were the days
Su Sudio and Cindy's hair
Our minds were simple and
We had no tears to fear
While Michael ruled the world
Al was weird and we Wanged our Chungs
Bruce was born and
The USA was won
In between our Calvin's
On the highway and we never looked back
We were livin' large in our Cadillac
(Big shiny and black)
A house in the canyon - boy George
we had it
Made, hey, eh,
Those were the days
I still hear the doves cry
And we thought that we could stop the rain
And live forever
Those were the days
And if I close my eyes I'm almost there
With you
If you're lost you can look and you will find me (time after time)
Waiting there for you, hey, eh
(Repeat chorus 2X)
(Vamp)
Back to the future
The Goonies and the Breakfast Club
Ghostbusters
Another Rambo First Blood
Lionel Ritchie
Madonna
Tina Turner too
Chaka Khan, yeah, I feel for you
Moonlighting, Bruce and Cybil, VH1
Don Henley, what a summer, we
Had fun, hey, eh
Those were the days
