On The Radio

Katrina Carlson

Compositor: Katrina Carlson / Ron Cohen

A lazy saturday in summer

Stealin' keys from daddy's rumpled slacks

A gravel drive, a ragtop mustang

Faded vinyl seats and a dash with cracks

That's where i'd wait to hear my favorite songs



(chorus)

On the radio

Turn it up and let the music take me away

On the radio

Close my eyes, breathe a sigh and dream of the day

When i'd drive away



I hear an angry shout 'round midnight

Coming from my parents' room

I turn to see my sister sleeping

In the dark, i find the dial and tune

To hear a kind, familiar, comforting voice



(chorus)



Echoing footsteps, shadows in darkness

Breaking the silence that leads me out of my nightmares

And into my dreams



And so i'd wait to hear my favorite songs



(chorus)
