Am Radio

The VCR and the DVD

There wasn't none of that crap

Back in 1970

We didn't know about

A world wide web

It was a whole different game being played

Back when I was a kid

You wanna get down

In a cool way?

Just picture yourself on a beautiful day

With the big bell bottoms

And groovy long hair

Justa walking in style

With a portable CD player

No

No...you would listen

To the music on

The AM radio

Yeah...you could hear the music

The AM radio

Flashback to '72

Another summer in the neighborhood

Hanging out with nothing to do

Sometimes

We'd go driving around

In my sister's Pinto

Cruisin' with the windows rolled down

We'd listen to the radio station

We were too damn poor

To buy the 8 track tapes

There wasn't any good time

To want to be inside

My mom would want to watch that TV all goddamn night

I'd be in bed with the radio on

I would listen to it all night long

Just to hear my favorite song

You'd have to wait

But you could hear it

On the AM radio

Yeah...you could hear the music

On the AM radio

I can still hear mama say

"Boy...Turn that radio down!"

Things changed back in '75

We were all growing up

On the in

And the outside

We got in trouble with the police man

We got busted

Getting high

In the back of my friend's van

I remember 1977

I started going to concerts

And I saw the Led Zeppelin

I got a guitar

On a Christmas day

I dreamed that Jimmy Page

Would come to Santa Monica

And teach me to play

There isn't any other place that I need to go

There isn't anything that I need to know

That I did not learn from the radio

Yeah when things get stupid

And I just don't know

Where to find my happy

I listen to the music

From the AM radio

(You could hear the music

On the AM radio)

(You could hear the music

On the AM radio)

I like pop and I like soul

I like rock

But I never liked disco

(On the AM radio)

We like pop...We like soul

We like to rock

But we never liked disco

(On the AM radio)

I never liked disco...no I never liked disco
