[Verse 1] Out of the sky on flight 79 Leaving my rocknroll life behind I stepped back in the world of my home town Dressed to kill for a class reunion Driving around in my rented Lincoln Bopping along to those rocking sixties sounds Most of my friends were still around But the town got smaller when the mill shut down And some of them drifted off to bigger places Theres a new stone soldier on the courthouse lawn Because bobby got killed in Vietnam And lately I been seeing the same old faces [PreChorus] Aint it kind of funny how every bodys changed but me So heres a little blast from the past for the class of 63 [Chorus] Hey baby turn your lights down low Theyre playing our song on the radio Shaking my chevy with the back seat dance Living by love and loving by chance [Verse 2] Johnny was voted class president The girls just swooned everywhere he went And seven wives later hes become the divorce court king And Donny boy sure could sling a towel Hed murder the ref if he called a fowl And now buying radio stations is his thing Rocking Dave could really put on some moves If you scratched his record hed dance on your bruise Now he teaches kids the Arthur Murray style Its like little Stevie the race champ said I aint got a dime but at least I aint dead And these memories will beat money by a mile [PreChorus] [Chorus][x4]
