Hometown Radio

[Intro]
I still remember when the songs came through
On a little silver radio my daddy knew

[Verse]
I was seventeen in a painted town
Where the Friday lights came rolling down
We had a jukebox and a borrowed car
Two-dollar gas and a wishing star
The girls would dance by the diner door
And we swore we'd never need much more
But the paper came one winter day
And said our favorite voice had gone away

[Chorus]
So sing it slow, sing it high
Keep the radio on till the morning sky
We were young and we thought we'd never say goodbye
Oh, the old songs never die
Just turn it up and don't ask why
And we sang along till the first light
Yeah, we sang along till the first light

[Verse]
Now the years went by like a freight train
Some went east and some caught a plane
The preacher's son went off to war
The quarterback don't smile no more
The dance hall's now a parking lot
We traded dreams for what we got
But every time that record plays
I'm back inside those summer days

[Chorus]
So sing it slow, sing it high
Keep the radio on till the morning sky
We were young and we thought we'd never say goodbye
Oh, the old songs never die
Just turn it up and don't ask why
And we sang along till the first light
Yeah, we sang along till the first light

[Bridge]
Did you believe in a song back then
Could a melody save a friend
Did you dance when you felt alone
Did you drive all night just to get back home

[Chorus]
So sing it slow, sing it high
Keep the radio on till the morning sky
We were young and we thought we'd never say goodbye
Oh, the old songs never die
Just turn it up and don't ask why
And we sang along till the first light
Yeah, we sang along till the first light

[Outro]
I still remember, I still remember
When the songs came through
Turn it up for me
I'll sing along for you
