The VCR and the DVD - there wasn't none of that crap back in 1970

Flashback to '72
C# D# C#
Another summer in the neighborhood, hanging out with nothing to do
G# C#
Sometimes we'd go driving around in my sister's Pinto
D# C# G#
Cruising with the windows rolled down
C#
We'd listen to the radio station - we were too damn poor
D# C#
to buy the 8-track tape
G#
It wasn't then a good time to want to be inside
C# D# Fm
My momma want to watch that TV all goddamn night
A#m
I'd be in bed with the radio on

I would listen to it all night long just to hear my favorite song

You'd have to wait but you could hear it on the C#M Radio

I can still hear momma say, "Boy, turn that radio down!"
C#
Aww, mom, not that show again!
D# C# G#
I don't wanna watch that show
C# D# C#
Can't we watch Good Times or Chico And The Man or something cool?
D#
Turn it off!
