I just bought the new Kenny Rogers CD. (Man he just gets sexier and sexier the older he gets; what is he, like 70?) This is a great song, as is the rest of the album.
The Last Ten Years - Kenny Rogers
Oh, the last ten years, it's been quite trip:
Over thirty-six-hundred spins around without a cosmic slip.
But within the realm of our atmosphere,
We're 'bout as out of whack as we've been in a million years.
We watched the Y2K scare in a panic,
An' we watched as time proved Nostrodamus wrong.
An' we watched as Mother Nature shook the planet,
An' cellular replaced the telephone.
We lost Charlie Brown, Ray Charles an' Johnny Cash:
We even lost Superman.
Mmm.
Well, the last ten years, look at the hills we've climbed.
The best golfer's black, the best rapper's white an' it's about damn time.
But we best beware, there's a brand new fight, you see,
An' I hate to say we might be our own worst enemy.
We watched Oklahoma sifting through the damage.
An' we watched a US President get caught.
We watched shareholders watched their savings vanish.
We all cried when we watched those towers fall.
We lost Minnie Pearl, Ron Reagan and Sam I am:
We even lost Superman.
Mmm.
Expensive gas an' free downloads,
The dot-com boom, an' reality shows.
What's gonna happen next is anybody's guess.
Satellite radio and hybrid cars,
Hand-held computers an' a trip to Mars.
It's all become a part of who we are,
In the last ten years.
In the last ten years.
We lost George Harrison, John Paul and June Carter-Cash:
Hell, we even lost Superman.
Gonna miss you. Chris.
Wrapping up.
