Danny Donnelly - 1979
Tonight I drove down
To the old pier
To catch a glimpse
Stare into the water
Looking for memories
Times with my father
The good times
Surfers shooting' the pier
I'd run to see em
slide out the other side
Hootin' and hollering
out the other side
Dad would shout
Did you hear that guy!
It's nineteen seventy nine
Every boombox is
Thumping misharona
All up & down the pier
At the same time
Waves thunder crashing under my feet
Salty air sweet smelling so fine
Smile on my face
Walking with my dad
It's nineteen seventy nine
Oooh ooh ooh ooh
Snuck my skateboard Into your car
One of my favorite crimes
Guitars strummed
At choir rehearsal
While singers work to find their harmony lines
Songs about Jesus
Songs about heaven
I'd skate the rhythms
Into the rhymes
Oh the Songs about a love
And turning water into wine
It's nineteen seventy nine
Every boombox is
Thumping misharona
All up & down the pier
At the same time
Waves thunder crashing under my feet
Salty air sweet smelling so fine
Smile on my face
Walking with my dad
It's nineteen seventy nine
Oooh ooh ooh ooh
Ten PM on a school night
No better time to drive
Up to LA
Off to ABC studios
We would fly
I was livin' outside the law
Of all six grade average Joe's
I saw Micheal Jackson
Met Steely Dan
It's a lot cooler now
Than I knew back then
It's nineteen seventy nine
Every boombox is
Thumping misharona
All up & down the pier
At the same time
Waves thundered crashing under my feet
Salty air sweet smelling so fine
Smile on my face
Walking with my dad
It's nineteen seventy nine
Oooh ooh ooh ooh
