| From the golden days of long ago
|
| The ones you’ll never forget
|
| In a shoebox filled with memories
|
| I found a red cassette
|
| And my friends thought it was strange that I was stolen away
|
| Out of the sunshine
|
| Making one-man radio shows long into the night
|
| Whoa
|
| Red cassette, take me back, take me back to when it all began
|
| Red cassette, take me back, take me back to when it all began
|
| I asked my teacher at school what she wanted to be
|
| She said, «It's too late for that»
|
| I could see it in her eyes that dreams are just a fantasy
|
| They only lead to regret
|
| So I stuck each teenage kids closed another first kiss
|
| Somewhere under the moonlight
|
| I put my headphones on and let the good times roll tonight
|
| Whoa
|
| Red cassette, take me back, take me back to when it all began
|
| Red cassette, take me back, take me back to when it all began
|
| Red cassette, take me back, take me back to when it all began
|
| Red cassette, take me back, take me back to when it all began
|
| Turning the reels back to yesterday
|
| When the promise of youth was an empty page
|
| Now I beat my band and I’m busy living for tomorrow
|
| Whoa
|
| Red cassette, take me back, take me back to when it all began
|
| Red cassette, take me back, take me back to when it all began
|
| Red cassette, take me back, take me back to when it all began
|
| Red cassette, take me back, take me back to when it all began
|
| The time won’t stop slipping away
|
| Gotta live in the moment every day
|
| Gotta keep on moving but I can’t forget
|
| Now I put it all down on a little cheap red cassette
|
| Red cassette, take me back, take me back to when it all began
|
| Red cassette, take me back, take me back to when it all began
|
| To when it all began, to when it all began, to when it all began
|
| To when it all began, to when it all began, to when it all began |
