Back In 84 Lyrics

It was November, back in '84
With Joe Cocker on the radio, the year that I was born
Back then was simple on the TV screen
Pictures of a better time printed on old magazines

But that was all back then and this is now
Can't turn back around
And the generation's hands are on the wheel

These are the best days, the best days of your life
They break us, they shape us to who we are
It's the courage that it takes to live in these times
So make it the best days, the best days of your life

It was November back in '91
The Berlin Wall came down, we hoped for no more guns
And I do remember back in '94
Michael Jordan in the air, he inspired us to soar

But that was all back then and this is now
Can't turn back around
Every generation's hands are on the wheel

These were the best days, the best days of our life
They break us, they shape us to who we are
It's the courage that it takes to live in these times
So make it the best days, the best days of your life

La la la...

Please, be the best days, the best days of our lives
If it breaks us, it'll teach us to survive
It's the courage that it takes to live in these times
It's the best days, the best days of your life
