I signed away my future to earn myself a place
Upon a neon poster with stickers on my case
To be the one that I am, how could I survive
Without putting pen to paper in 1975?
I hid between the shadows that fell around my soul
I drunk myself in circles and dug myself a hole
So I could bury feelings while I was getting high
Enjoying the darkest moments of 1979
I know how hard it hit me and how it changed my life
I threw a family, a fortune, and a wife
My confidence was lacking, I thought I had a clue
I threw up on the journey in 1982
I never had foundations, no place to call my roots
i was in and out of rehabs and in the empty rooms
I fell down on the doorstep, I was still out of my mind
We parted like it was over in 1999
Sounds like I'm complaining but I'm happy to be here
It's been a pleasant journey that seems to disappear
With every day that passes I'm looking back in time
I've never been so happy as 1975
1975, 1975, 1975...
