The Year I Was Born

THE YEAR I WAS BORN we were still fighting the Vietnam war, Nixon was all caught up in the drama of Watergate then forced to resign by summertime handing his key to the White House over to vice president Ford, 38th president of the United States... THE YEAR I WAS BORN the chart topping songs were Band On The Run, Cat's In The Cradle and You're Sixteen... A Love story and The Godfather Pt. 2 were the two biggest movies on the silver screen... THE YEAR I WAS BORN a gallon of gas was only 50 something cents and it was only $25 to $35 dollars for a month’s rent... THE YEAR I WAS BORN love was in the air despite the war still going on in Vietnam, we just started putting smiley faces on everything, everywhere in 1974 we joy, we had fun, we had season in the sun... THE YEAR I WAS BORN... THE YEAR I WAS BORN!
