Am Radio lyrics

"~KHJ Los Angeles!~ Portions of the day`s programming are reproduced by means of electrical transcriptions or tape recordings."



You can hear the music on the 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



Wanna get down in a cool way

Picture yourself on a beautiful day

Big bell bottoms and groovy long hair

Just walkin` in style with a portable CD player

No, you would listen to the music on the AM radio

Yeah, you could hear the music on a AM radio



Flashback, `72

Another summer in the neighborhood

Hangin` out with nothing to do

Sometmes we`d go drivin` around

In my sister`s Pinto

Cruisin` with the windows rolled down

We`d listen to the radio station

We were too damn cool to buy the eight track tapes

There wasn`t any good time to want to be inside

My mama wanna 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 a AM radio

I can still hear Mama say “Boy turn that radio down!?



“Aw, Mom. Not that show again! I don`t wanna watch that show! Can`t we watch Good Times or Chico and the Man or something cool? Turn it off!"



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 gettin` 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 Christmas day

I dreamed that Jimmy Page would come from Santa Monica and teach me to play

Teach me to play...



There isn`t any place that I need to go

There isn`t anything that I need to know

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 my music on the AM radio

You can hear the music on a AM radio

You can hear the music on a AM radio



I like pop, I like soul, I like rock, but I never liked disco

I like pop, I like soul, I like rock, but I never liked disco

We like pop, we like soul, we like rock, but we never liked disco...



No I never liked disco...
