Lyrics

[Verse 1]

I had a six-transistor when I was a kid

Under my pillow I kept it hid

When the lights went out and no one could see

Over the airwaves the world came to me

[Verse 2]

I'd go through the stations till I found a game

I knew how they played by the sounds of their names

The sluggers hit homers, those pitchers threw smoke

And I watched it all on my radio

[Verse 3]

At the crack of the bat, I knew how far it'd go

And I watched it all on my radio

I watched it all on my radio

[Verse 4]

When the ball game was over, the wrap-up complete

I'd search through the static till I found a beat

The Beatles and Creedence, the Stones and the Byrds

You should have seen all the groups that I heard

[Verse 5]

And on Saturday night, when the skies were all clear

A station from Nashville sometimes would appear

The steel guitars and soft Southern twang

The stars of the Grand Ole Opry would sing

[Verse 6]

And I had a seat on the very front row

And I watched it all on my radio

I watched it all on my radio

[Verse 7]

And right about midnight, some preacher came on

To tell me what's right, to tell me what's wrong

And there was that test at the sound of the beep

It was only a test, the voice would repeat

And the National Anthem would sing me to sleep

[Verse 8]

I had a six-transistor when I was a kid

Under my pillow, I kept it hid

When the lights went out and no one could see

Over the airwaves the world came to me

[Verse 9]

And I had a seat on the very front row

And I watched it all on my radio

I watched it all on my radio
