He said this place had changed
Didn't recognize a thing
All that's left are the words
Of a song he used to sing
50 years ago
In 1971
He ran out the doors of the DMV
Hell bent on having fun
That year, now long forgotten
It was a simpler time indeed
Stored in the back of his mind
These fading memories
He bagged groceries at the market
To earn a little pay
Found a high school sweetheart
They passed the time away
They lost something in the back seat
Of his Daddy's Chevrolet
She smiled, pretending to hear
Three words, she hoped he'd say
That year, now long forgotten
It was a simpler time indeed
Stored in the back of his mind
These fading memories
The beach became his refuge
That's where he liked to go
To flirt with Mary Jane
Watch an ocean picture show
Paradise on the Gold Coast
The hot South Florida Sun
He called Miami his home
Back In 1971
That year, now long forgotten
It was a simpler time indeed
Stored in the back of his mind
These fading memories
That year, not all forgotten
It was a simpler time indeed
Stored in the back of his mind
These fading memories
That year, not all forgotten
But like a setting sun
Disappeared into the distance
Nineteen Seventy One
Nineteen Seventy One
Nineteen Seventy One
