THE LAST TEN YEARS (SUPERMAN)
(Tommy Conners / D. Vincent Williams)

Kenny Rogers - 2006



Oh, the last ten years, it's been quite a trip 
Over thirty-six-hundred spins around without a cosmic slip 
But within the realm of our atmosphere 
We're 'bout as out of whack as we've been in a million years 
We watched the Y2K scare with the panic 
An' we watched as time proved Nostrodamus wrong 
An' we watched as Mother Nature shook the planet 
An' cellular replaced the telephone 
We lost Charlie Brown, Ray Charles an' Johnny Cash 
We even lost Superman, mmmm 

Well, the last ten years, look at the hills we've climbed 
The best golfer's black, the best rapper's white an' it's about damn time 
But we best beware, there's a brand new fight, you see 
An' I hate to say we might be our own worst enemy 
We watched Oklahoma sifting through the damage 
An' we watched a US President get caught 
We watched shareholders watch their savings vanish 
We all cried when we watched those towers fall 
We lost Minnie Pearl, Ron Reagan and Sam I Am 
We even lost Superman, mmmm 

Expensive gas an' free downloads 
The dot-com boom, an' reality shows 
What's gonna happen next is anybody's guess 
Satellite radio and hybrid cars 
Hand-held computers an' a trip to Mars 
It's all become a part of who we are 
In the last ten years 

In the last ten years 
We lost George Harrison, John Paul and June Carter-Cash 
Hell, we even lost Superman 
Gonna miss you, Chris...
