Car Radio
Daddy
would drive - ev'ry Saturday night - to the top of the hill/ He'd park the car
- light a cigar - 'n turn the radio on/We'd listen to - the sounds comin' through
- from West Virginia / That bluegrass station - so far, far away.//
Chorus: Oh, how our toes got tapping - Steel guitar kept on ringing - Banjo plucking
out that melody!
Late at night
- the conditions were right - if the stars were shining/We'd fall asleep - my
brother and me - in the back of the car/ Mom and Dad - holding hands - sitting
in the front seat. Humming to - those lonesome and blue - hillbilly songs.
Chorus:
Oh, how our toes got tapping - Steel guitar kept on ringing - Banjo plucking out
that melody!
We'd sit out there
- in the country air - 'til the battery died/Mom would pull out the clutch - Dad
would give us a push - We'd coast the downhill side/We'd drive around - get the
battery wound - for the homeward journey. With a sputter and a spark - we'd drive
through the dark - 'til we got down to town.
Chorus:
Oh, how our toes got tapping - Steel guitar kept on ringing - Banjo plucking out
that melody!
Daddy would drive
- ev'ry Saturday night - to the top of the hill/ He'd park the car - light a cigar
- 'n turn the radio on.
