And the Radio Played

I remember riding shotgun in daddy's Chevrolet

We'd crank up the Pioneers and we'd sing away

Sometimes he'd let me take the wheel and we'd drive through town

Couldn't wait to hear my favorite songs coming back around

And the radio played 'Old Flame', 'I'll Still Be Loving You'

'I Was Country When Country Wasn't Cool'

'Forever and Ever, Amen'

'Always On My Mind' again and again

'Swingin'' and 'Smoky Mountain Rain'

'He Stopped Loving Her Today'

We laughed, we cried the '80s away

And the radio played

Bobby was the first boy that I ever kissed

I can still taste the root beer on his lips

We'd turn up the stereo from that bedroom

Climb through the window and make out on the roof

And the radio played 'Don't Rock the Jukebox' and 'The Dance'

'Strawberry Wine' and 'Brand New Man'

'Love Without End, Amen'

'Time Marches On' again and again

'Meet in the Middle' and 'Amazed'

'Does He Love You?' 'Independence Day'

We laughed, we cried the '90s away

And the radio played

(I was raised on the radio, raised on the radio)

(Raised on the radio) Yeah, and the radio played

(I was raised on the radio, raised on the radio)

(Raised on the radio)

When I hear 'em now, I'm right back in that place

And twenty years from now, I'll look back on today

When the radio played 'I Hope You Dance', 'You'll Think of Me'

'What Hurts the Most', 'Before He Cheats'

'I Don't Want This Night to End'

'The House that Built Me', 'Remember When'

'Love Story', 'She's My Kind of Rain'

'She's Country', 'Forever and for Always'

'Don't Blink', 'I Saw God Today'

And the radio plays

(I was raised on the radio, raised on the radio)

(Raised on the radio) And the radio plays

(I was raised on the radio, raised on the radio)

(Raised on the radio)

Weren't you raised on the radio, raised on the radio

Raised on the radio?

I was raised on the radio, raised on the radio

Raised on the radio
