I was born thirty years too late

I have always known it

If now was then I know I’d fit right in

But right now I’m just a misfit

Wish I had hit my twenties in ‘64

Youth culture at that time had such amazing things in store

 

CHORUS:

I was born thirty years too late

How could such a travesty have been my fate?

That spirit and that music are my heart and soul

If only I’d lived through it then I would be whole

 

I was born thirty years too late

My deepest feelings tell me

I find that I relate to that time

When I see stock film on TV

Wish I could come of age in 1965

The scene that was occurring then would make me feel alive

 

(CHORUS)

 

The music and the sounds

That move my human soul

The finest period

In rock ‘n’ roll

 

I was born thirty years too late

Everybody says so

I could have had a band and been a star

I’ve got the talent and the mojo

If I turned 29 in ‘73

I’d thank Father Time for having been so good to me

 

(CHORUS)
