Old Radio
‘67 Comet cruisin’ Lake Street South
I see the Dairy Way and Doc Christie’s House
Smell the Trident gum
Taste your spearmint mouth
Hear that old radio
Tried our best to heed the golden rule
But we did unto all the other
Kids at school
Sang along to the songs
That we thought were cool
On that old radio
Oh I still remember the verses and sweet refrains
And those memories of the music and laughter
They still remain
Parking where the road ends
Way out past the lake
There’s no giving
With us it’s all take
Oh that crazy love
That we would make
With that old radio
Danced with you at homecoming
Romanced at prom
Tried to sneak in late but
Woke your dad and mom
Oh how loud we would sing
When they played our song
On that old radio
Oh I still remember the verses and sweet refrains
And those memories of the music and laughter
They still remain
Love will come
And there's just no denyin' we know love will go
But our favorite song just keeps rockin along on
That old radio
Guitar Solo
Lay awake nights and hear the cars go by
Think of you and then I start to cry
Oh the lessons learned, how we said goodbye
And that old radio
I flew east and baby you flew west
Went to your wedding
Wished you all the best
Another broken heart
Just like all the rest
On that old radio
Oh I still remember the verses and sweet refrains
And those memories of the music and laughter
They still remain
Love has gone
and despite all our tryin'
We will never know
But today
I heard our favorite song
On that old radio
