Where were you in sixty-eight? In sixty-eight, Julie was Johnnie's date Two kids growin' together Livin' each day as if time was slippin' away Oh, they were just sixteen And their love a teenage dream They passed the time, they crossed the line The line that ran between Julie and Johnnie, now you've made it But life goes on, you know it ain't easy You've just gotta be strong If you're one of the sixteens And life goes on, you know, you know it ain't easy You know you'll never go wrong 'Cause you're all part of the sixteens Suzie and Davey got to make the big time Maybe they can put it all together In a show that lasts forever Oh, they would walk the strip at nights And dream they saw their name in lights On Desolation Boulevard They'll light the faded light Suzie and Davey, you can make it But life goes on, you know it ain't easy You've just gotta be strong If you're one of the sixteens And life goes on, you know, you know it ain't easy You know you'll never go wrong 'Cause you're all part of the sixteens So where were you in sixty-eight? When Bobby and Billy thought That sixty-eight was out of date They took the flowers from their hair And tried to make us all aware Too bad, too late So they lived from day to day And tried to do it all their way But sixty-eight was sixty-eight No matter what they say Bobby and Billy, maybe you'll make it one day
