When I was ten years oldI remember thinking how cool it would be
When we were going on an eight hour drive
And I could just watch TV
And I’d have given anything
To have my own Pac-Man game at home
I used to have to get a ride down to the arcade
Now I’ve got it on my phone
Hey, glory, glory hallelujah
