This'll Be My Year

In '85, Tuesday morning, Came alive, I didn't know ya
Route 66 is gone, And Reagan's here, It won't be long
Nintendo comes, Live Aid, too,
Back to the Future Where were you,
While I spent all my days In Catholic school?

In '89, The dream begins,
First in line to California,
Pete Rose is banned for good,
The Simpsons come to Hollywood,

Russia leaves Afghanistan,
Flight 103 ends Pan Am,
Bush is here This is the year
That I feel most alone

No more Countin' down the hours
No more Wishin' you were here
I stopped believin',
Although Journey told me 'don't' Before I call it a day,
Maybe this'll be my year Maybe this'll be my year
Maybe this'll be my year Maybe this'll be my year

In '92, A boy is born,
The skies were blue In Ohio
Boris Yeltsin chills, Freddie dies,
But Queen is still, Barcelona has the games,
Lady Di is single again, Clinton wins,
And I still dream That I'll find you someday

In '97, A baby girl,
Adds some heaven to the world,
Tony Blair tips the scales, Elton sings for the Princess of Wales,
Microsoft buys into Mac, My dad has a second heart attack,
And Train leaves San Francisco In a thousand-dollar van

No more Countin' down the hours
No more Wishin' you were here
I stopped believin',
Although Journey told me 'don't' Before I call it a day,
Maybe this'll be my year Maybe this'll be my year
Maybe this'll be my year Maybe this'll be my year

2001, The towers fell,
The World is stunned, I wish I knew ya
I was on a plane, The world would never be the same
The artificial heart is born-- Ironic when New York's is torn out
Woah-oah-oah-oah

2004, Began in May,
On tour when I met ya Facebook joins the Internet,
Oldsmobile joins the cassette
I met your family
It took a while until you kissed me,
But when you did, I finally felt at home

I stopped believin',
Although Journey told me 'don't' Before I call it a day,
Maybe this'll be my year Maybe this'll be my year
Maybe this'll be my year Maybe this'll be my year

2012, And all I know
Is everybody comes and goes Everybody sings and cries,
Makes the grade and takes the prize
In somethin', nothin', I don't care,
Because I always know that you'll be here
With me
