Hippie Radio |
My daddy had a Pontiac on the beige-er side of yellow |
He was a young man then and I was a little fella |
I’d play in that bench back seat and listen to the songs get sung |
He couldn’t carry a tune in a bucket but he’d sing at the top of his lungs |
«Carry On My Wayward Son» on the hippie radio |
Songs about the flower babies and the birth of rock and roll |
And I was the band, and I would stand and we’d bounce down the road |
A boy and his dad in a Pontiac and a hippie radio |
Can’t' remember if it was seventeen, maybe eighteen is right |
But I’ll never forget those baby blues in the glow of that dashboard light |
I’d won her heart the week before and it was hot right from the start |
I busted her brother Billy’s mouth for makin' fun of my car |
It was «White Wedding» and «Rebel Yell» on the hippie radio |
I was a «Werewolf in London,» and she was «Lady Marmalade"'s soul |
And I’d crank the band, take her hand and we’d pull off back a road |
A boy and his girl in a Pontiac, and a hippie radio |
Four years and seven days from tying cans to the bumper |
I was pacing a maternity floor, my flower baby was a mother |
My hands were shaking as we were leaving, taking our boy home |
My heart was full and in my head I could hear a long, long song |
Cat’s in the cradle and the silver spoon on the hippie radio |
A-B-C, 1−2-3, don’t blink or he’ll be gone |
And I took her hand and she just smiled with a look that said, «I know» |
A boy and his dad and a boy and his girl and a Pontiac |
And a hippie radio |
