I had a house and a car
The money was rolling in
The New York Yankees
Had won The World Series again
My self-confidence
Was higher than it ever had been

I had a job with the State
They taught me how to print
Old Jimmy Carter
Was trying to be the President
Come Friday night
The action was heaven sent

1979, 1979
Everything was fine in 1979
1979, 1979
I was the disco king in 1979

She was out on the floor
I knew it wouldn't take me long
I wore a polyester shirt
She had her bell bottoms on
I was John Travolta
She was Olivia Newton-John

1979, 1979
The world was mine in 1979
1979, 1979
She was my rock & roll queen in 1979

We rode back to the house
I talked her into spending the night
We did it in the living room
And the kitchen twice
I don't remember her name
My God! She sure was nice!

I like this. very personal and very to the point. I like the repetition of 1979, not only does it stick with you and the point of the song, but it flows nicely the way you've placed it. Good job man!

Thank you! It was a long time ago.

I remember 1979......
IMO...your 3rd verse should be a bridge...

She spent the night
we did it in the living room
And the kitchen twice.

The other I keep thinking is maybe
I was the disco king part could be disco was king....the "I" is making me hesitate...I want to hear universal.


This way you can change up the music and meter with a bridge.
