"This s a song that's off our new album.
And it goes out to a street I used to live on,
Some of us used to live on actually. Back in Manchester,
Vermont. It was a street called Elm Street. Back in 1979."
"It's called The Class of 1979"
I was going through some pictures of mine
Your smile caught on film
Taking in some corner time
Laughing in the wind
Takes me back from where I stand
And puts me there again
When they ask I always say
I don't know where or when
Such a long, long time ago
Such a long, long time ago
I remember the face of a world
Free, wild and young
Dede with her passion for curls
That never came undone
To fix it all my mother tried
She really tried her best
To keep us safe
To keep us warm
And to keep us fed
Such a long, long time ago
Such a long, long time ago
Such a long time
Such a long time
Living now without regrets
Every stone has to roll (roll)
Looking back at who I was
In my heart and soul
The class of 1979 was written on a tree
All those dreams we had those days
Are still a part of me
Such a long, long time ago
Such a long time
Such a long, long time ago
Such a long, long time ago
Such a long, long time ago
The class of 1979
The class of 1969
The class of 1975
The class of 1982
The class of 2002
The class of 1979
The class of 1979
The class of 1979
The class of 1979
The class of 1979 was written on a tree
All the dreams we had those days
Are still a part of me
Still a part of me
The class of 1979 was written on a tree
All the dreams we had those days
Are still a part of me
