Lee Kernaghan - 1959 Lyrics

He'd Brylcream his hair and straightened his tie
When he walked out the door he'd kiss his mother goodbye
he's got the keys to his father's FJ
he's taking out Jenny it's their first date
He knocks on her door and he can hear his heart pound
Her father appears and looks him up and down
He said 'Jen won't be long so you'd better come in'
And he waits on the couch, flowers in his hand

Chorus

There's been so many changes down through the years
there's been so many good things left behind
You can call me sentimental but I really wouldn't mind
If you wrapped me up and sent me back to 1959
They'd go to a dance JOK would be there
And she'd look so pretty ponytail in her hair
He plucked up the courage to take her hand in his
And there on her doorstep they stole their first kiss

Chorus

They fell in love and they remember the night
When he nervously asked her would you be my bride
When they made that promise 'till death do us part
You know that they meant it straight from the heart
there's been so many changes down through the years
there's been so many good things left behind
You can call me sentimental but I really wouldn't mind
If you wrapped me up and sent me back to 1959
Wrap me up and send me back to 1959
