Flashback to '72
A# C A#
Another summer in the neighborhood, hanging out with nothing to do
F A#
Sometimes we'd go driving around in my sister's Pinto
C A# F
Cruising with the windows rolled down

We'd listen to the radio station - we were too damn poor
C A#
to buy the 8-track tape
F
It wasn't then a good time to want to be inside
A# C Dm
My momma want to watch that TV all goddamn night
Gm
I'd be in bed with the radio on
A# C
I would listen to it all night long just to hear my favorite song
F
You'd have to wait but you could hear it on the A#M Radio
[Chorus]

Yeah, you could hear the music on the A#M Radio
A# C A# F
I can still hear momma say, "Boy, turn that radio down!"
A#
Aww, mom, not that show again!
C A# F
I don't wanna watch that show
A# C A#
Can't we watch Good Times or Chico And The Man or something cool?
C
Turn it off!

There isn't anything that I need to know I did not learn from the radio
