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

Welcome to the futureBrad Paisley
