Back In 84

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 'em 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 We can't turn back around Every generation's hands are on the wheel These were the best days, the best days of our lives They break us, they shape us to who we are It's the courage that it takes to live in these times So make 'em the best days The best days of your life Please, be the best days, the best days of our lives If it breaks us, it will 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
