Lyrics:
waitin'
For the lights to turn green
It's been so long since I had that dream
And lookin' back now I think it's me I miss
The small town rebel and innocence
When I was young
I'd listened to the radio
Waitin' for my favorite songs
When they played I'd sing along
It made me smile
Those were such happy times
Took the cover off the old rag top yesterday
Comin' through the static, was a song on the radio
Took me by surprise, hadn't heard it in a while
So I thought that I might drop by
And maybe give her some flowers
And tell her she is the queen of the sky
Yeah
All right, all wrong
This ain't
Life lived with blinders on
Only looking out for number one
Radio skewed to his point of view
Of the good old days when the good ol' boys ruled
Late at night I switch on my radio
I sing myself a lullaby
I close my eyes and wait
Till the wind blows round the corner
Bringing back
NIGHTS ARE FOREVER
Words and Music by Parker McGee
Lying in bed with the radio on
Moonlight falls like rain
Soft summer nights spent thinking of you
When I was young I'd listen to the radio
Waitin' for my favorite songs
When they played I'd sing along, it made me smile
Those were such happy
In the Petrified day
with the strollers in the park
and the radio plays
from the top twenty chart
watch the workers go by
holding hands in the sun
I like to speak my mind
Say grace at supper time
I'm just a dot on the map
ain't scared to take a stand
For this little piece of land
Don't
Maybe tomorrow I'll leave this day
Behind
And maybe then
I'll sing a new song
For you
And we'll mull over coffee
And the movie we just saw
While you
back on the good times we've shared
Which means ...

There is no soap, no
and a slice to go
In a top down Caddy in the desert breeze
Romeo and Juliet meet Thelma and Louise
They've got the radio, they've got one CD
Top 40 and some
Built in 1973
Fossilized technology
Swear the thing sleeps 43
And were not pulling over
Open road by Chevrolet
Sail across the USA
Whole damn
Bewildered by love and fear
I was thinking bout the middle of the nineties
Still reeling from the LA riots
What If God Was One Of Us singing in the airwaves
So you want music for nutn,`n think we don`t deserve money,/
`cuz hiphop`s about love `n you can always burn a copy,/
lemme tell you, fuck yo
With all I’ve done
If they tie me up
In radio waves
Could I stay in the memories you play?
What good is the night?
If it passes you by?
What good is
Must've been living under a rock
Must've not left the house for a couple of years
All the telephones, TVs, radios off
Put a blindfold on, cotton
And you're sprawled out on some floor
Some one call for help
Is he alive? We're not sure
Everybody's screaming
Everyone's in a panic
But you, your face
They only want to see
Our awareness is
Limited by network
VP's
Moronic sit-coms
One sided news
Alter your feeling
Give you conformist
Views
Why
I heard it on the radio
Let it be, so I let go
See if it made a difference
I tried to walk a different pace
Show the world, the other face
I hide
watched you drive away
I'm not that bad but you could do better, baby
Ooh-ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh
Radio man gets sad on the airwaves
Waiting for his turn
Don't call me up
for an empty date
I wanna get thru to you
and get out of this state
Tokyo in the winter time,
as I walk on by
Hear the lights like
substitute
for mountains and hills
And all the children always end up popping pills
And the radio keeps saying "this city kills"
I need you to catch me
