Kenny Rogers - The Last Ten Years

Lyrics to The Last Ten Years by 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 ever 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, mhm. 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 watch 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, mhm. 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...
