[Intro]

I was born in the wrong year

I shoulda been born in 1970

When rock and roll was free, yeah

I would turn on the radio

And sing along with every melody

Like it was made for me

[Verse 1]

It took me 'til the age of seventeen

To hear how music used to be

My parents did their best but

Religion had a funny way of robbing me

And I remember how it felt the first time

Rock and roll was played for me

It took me to a place I'd never been

Knew that I could never leave

[Chorus]

I was born in the wrong yеar

I shoulda been born in 1970

When rock and roll was free, yeah

I would turn on the radio

And sing along with еvery melody

Like it was made for me

[Verse 2]

Driving just to find what I'm looking for

Person I had never been

Singing loud to Freddie with the windows down

Learning how to live again (Ooh yeah, woah)

[Chorus]

I was born in the wrong year

I shoulda been born in 1970

When rock and roll was free, yeah

I would turn on the radio

And sing along with every melody

Like it was made for me

[Interlude]

Yeah

(Take me back!)

(Come on!)

(Hey!)

[Bridge]

Come on!

And take me back (Take me back)

Take me back (Take me back)

Here we go, come on!

Take me back (Take me back)

(I was born in the wrong year)

(I shoulda been born in 1970)

Take me back (Take me back)

(When rock and roll was free, yeah)

Everybody! Take me back (Take me back)

(I would turn on the radio)

(And sing along with every melody)

Yeah, yeah! Take me back (Take me back)

(Like it was made for me)

Woah

[Chorus]

I was born in the wrong year

I shoulda been born in 1970 (Take me back)

When rock and roll was free, yeah (Take me back)

I would turn on the radio

And sing along with every melody (Take me back)

Like it was made for me (Take me back)
