The 1980's was a time of fast times and endless hours of partying and getting into the mix of what seemed to be the in-thing to do at the time. Just about everyone I hung around with or knew had either tried cocaine or knew someone themselves that was involved with it. That dollar bill was my best friend as he visited me almost every weekend and showed up at every event that took place back in the day. Thank God I was able to break away from that. I pray for some of my friends that are still to this day probably using. So sad.
The 1980's brings me back, like the song...I will survive
The white line crossed my path so much...I'm lucky I'm alive
A decade of some high times...thank god those years have passed
I've partied like an animal...those days have gone by fast
Twenty one through twenty five...my life was such a mess
I was an addict for five long years...for now, I must confess
Caught in the mix with all my friends...those wasted cocaine years
Too high to cry, my oh my...no time to shed some tears
So thank you lord for watching me...and giving me back my life
If not for you, I probably would have died...and so, might have my wife
