Lyrics
Radio Night
It had a shiny chrome dial and white plastic buttons
And it glowed from the dash with a soft green light
And the DJ's voices, playin' our choices
As we cruised into the Radio Night
Gonna ease that old shift into Cruise-O-Matic
Pickin' up AM static from a passin' light
You're sweet sixteen goin' on twenty
Sittin' plenty close on a Radio Night
WLUV's playin' John Cougar
And we're like Jack and Dianne
In this one-horse town
But if the night is clear
In about ten miles
We'll tune into Philly
Jackie Wilson and James Brown
They're playin' Gary US Bonds and Clyde McPhatter
Spin those sweet soul platters 'till the mornin' light
The windshield's steamed, (if you know what I mean)
As we park in the arms of the Radio Night
(CHORUS)
(REPEAT VERSE 1)
Lost in the arms of the Radio Night
As we cruise in the arms of the Radio Night
