You can hear the music on the AM radio

The VCR and the DVD
There 
wasn't none of that crap back in 1970
We didn?t know about a World Wide 
Web
It was a whole different game being played back when I was a 
kid

Wanna get down in a cool way
Picture yourself on a beautiful 
day
Big bell bottoms and groovy long hair
Just walkin' in style with a 
portable CD player
No, you would listen to the music on the AM radio
Yeah, 
you could hear the music on a AM radio

Flashback, '72
Another summer 
in the neighborhood hangin' out with nothing to do
Sometmes we'd go drivin' 
around
In my sister?s Pinto cruisin' with the windows rolled down
We'd 
listen to the radio station
We were too damn cool to buy the eight track 
tapes
There wasn?t any good time to want to be inside
My mama wanna watch 
that TV all goddamn night

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 AM radio
Yeah, you could hear the music on 
a AM radio
I can still hear Mama say ?Boy turn that radio down!?

?Aw, 
Mom. Not that show again! I don?t wanna watch that show!
Can?t we watch Good 
Times or Chico and the Man or something cool? Turn it off!"

Things 
changed back in ?75
We were all growing up on the in and the outside
We 
got in trouble with the police man
We got busted gettin' high in the back of 
my friend?s van

I remember 1977
I started going to concerts and I saw 
the Led Zeppelin
I got a guitar on Christmas day
I dreamed that Jimmy Page 
would come from Santa Monica and teach me to play
Teach me to play
Teach 
me to play

There isn?t any place that I need to go
There isn?t 
anything that I need to know
I did not learn from the radio

Yeah when 
things get stupid and I just don?t know
Where to find my happy
I listen to 
my music on the AM radio
You can hear the music on a AM radio
You can hear 
the music on a AM radio

I like pop, I like soul, I like rock, but I never 
liked disco
I like pop, I like soul, I like rock, but I never liked 
disco
We like pop, we like soul, we like rock, but we never liked disco
We 
like pop, we like soul, we like rock, but we never liked disco
No I never 
liked disco
No I never liked disco
We like pop, we like soul, we like 
rock, but we never liked disco ... till fade
