Where were you in sixty-eight? |
|
In sixty-eight, Julie was Johnnie's date |
|
Two kids growin' together |
|
Livin' each day as if time was slippin' away |
|
Oh, they were just sixteen |
|
And their love a teenage dream |
|
They passed the time, they crossed the line |
|
The line that ran between |
|
Julie and Johnnie, now you've made it |
|
But life goes on, you know it ain't easy |
|
You've just gotta be strong |
|
If you're one of the sixteens |
|
And life goes on, you know, you know it ain't easy |
|
You know you'll never go wrong |
|
'Cause you're all part of the sixteens |
|
Suzie and Davey got to make the big time |
|
Maybe they can put it all together |
|
In a show that lasts forever |
|
Oh, they would walk the strip at nights |
|
And dream they saw their name in lights |
|
On Desolation Boulevard |
|
They'll light the faded light |
|
Suzie and Davey, you can make it |
|
But life goes on, you know it ain't easy |
|
You've just gotta be strong |
|
If you're one of the sixteens |
|
And life goes on, you know, you know it ain't easy |
|
You know you'll never go wrong |
|
'Cause you're all part of the sixteens |
|
So where were you in sixty-eight? |
|
When Bobby and Billy thought |
|
That sixty-eight was out of date |
|
They took the flowers from their hair |
|
And tried to make us all aware |
|
Too bad, too late |
|
So they lived from day to day |
|
And tried to do it all their way |
|
But sixty-eight was sixty-eight |
|
No matter what they say |
|
Bobby and Billy, maybe you'll make it one day |
