Alabama - Twentieth Century

Oh, the twentieth century wasn't all that bad


It was a time like no one else has ever had


We learned to drive, we learned to fly


We sent a man into the sky


When he walked on the moon, we were so glad


Yeah, the twentieth century wasn't all that bad





Yeah, the twentieth century was quite a ride


We had to learn to see the other side


We had demonstrations and liberations


Great depressions and good vibrations


And doors that once were closed were opened wide


Oh, the twentieth century was quite a ride





We had movin' pictures and radio


And Broadway, country, rock and roll


In 1900, who'd a bet we'd all be surfing on the internet





Yeah, the twentieth century was a heck of a show


We all had our fifteen minutes, don't you know


Assembly lines, celebrities, the spotlight shined on you and me


And everybody got a standin' O


Yeah, the twentieth century was a heck of a show





From blocks of ice to air-condition


Telegraph to television


In 1900, who'd a known we all wind up with pocket phones





The twentieth century wasn't all that long


Just a hundred years has come and gone


We can't go back even if we try


So I'll just smile and wave goodbye


To see it leavin' makes me kinda sad


It was a time like no one else has ever had


Oh, the twentieth century wasn't all that bad





The twentieth century


Bye-bye





The twentieth century


Goodbye
