Lyrics
He was born in the 50's, such an innocent age
With fallout shelters, cowboy movies
Not a line on his face
Grew up in the 60's, Vietnam on the tube
The suburbs without end and the Cadillac fins
He watched the men on the moon
And just like old friends he remembers
So Long JFK, The Beatles did ok
They took the best of out better days
So long JFK
He got lost in the 70's, Nixon and Watergate
And 80's they stole another piece of his soul
Traded his dreams for real estate
Chorus
And just like good friends he remembers
So Long JFK, The Beatles did ok
They took the best of out better days
So long JFK
