The VCR and the DVD - there wasn't none of that crap back in 1970
C#
We didn't know about a World Wide Web
F# G# F#
Was a whole different game being played back when I was a kid
C#
Wanna get down in a cool way?
F# G# F#
Picture yourself on a beautiful day

Big Bell Bottoms and groovy, long hair
F# G#
Just a-walking in style with a portable AD player - No!

Flashback to '72
F# G# F#
Another summer in the neighborhood, hanging out with nothing to do
C# F#
Sometimes we'd go driving around in my sister's Pinto
G# F# C#
Cruising with the windows rolled down
F#
We'd listen to the radio station - we were too damn poor
G# F#
to buy the 8-track tape
C#
It wasn't then a good time to want to be inside
F# G# A#m
My momma want to watch that TV all goddamn night
D#m
I'd be in bed with the radio on
F# G#
I would listen to it all night long just to hear my favorite song
C#
You'd have to wait but you could hear it on the F#M Radio
[Chorus]
F# G# F# C#
Yeah, you could hear the music on the F#M Radio
F# G# F# C#
I can still hear momma say, "Boy, turn that radio down!"
F#
Aww, mom, not that show again!
G# F# C#
I don't wanna watch that show
F# G# F#
Can't we watch Good Times or Chico And The Man or something cool?
G#
Turn it off!
[Verse]
C#
Things changed back in '75
F# G# F#
We were all growing up on the in and the outside
C#
We got in trouble with the police man
F# G# F#
We got busted getting high in the back of my friend's van
C#
I remember 1977
F# G# F#
I started going to concerts and I saw the Led Zeppelin
C#
I got a guitar on Christmas day
F# G# A#m
I dreamed that Jimmy Page would come to Santa Monica and teach me to play
D#m
Teach me to play
F#
Teach me to play
A#m D#m
There isn't any place that I need to go
F# G#
There isn't anything that I need to know I did not learn from the radio
