I Watched It All (On My Radio)
Lyricist:Lionel Cartwright, Jr., Donald Schlitz
I had a six transistor when I was a kid Under my pillow, I kept it hid When the lights went out and no one could see Over the airwaves, the world came to me
I'd go through the stations 'til I found a game I knew how they played by the sounds of their names The sluggers hit homers, those pitchers threw smoke And I watched it all on my radio
At the crack of the bat, I knew how far it'd go And I watched it all on my radio I watched it all on my radio
When the ball game was over, the wrap up complete I'd search through the static 'til I found a beat The Beatles and Creedence, the Stones and the Byrds You should have seen all the groups that I heard
And on saturday night when the skies were all clear A station from Nashville sometimes would appear Find more lyrics at ※ Mojim.com The steel guitars and soft southern twang The stars of the Grand Ole Opry would sing
And I had a seat on the very front row And I watched it all on my radio I watched it all on my radio
And right about midnight, some preacher came on To tell me what's right, to tell me what's wrong And there was a test at the sound of the beep 'It was only a test', the voice would repeat And the national anthem would sing me to sleep
I had a six transistor when I was a kid Under my pillow, I kept it hid When the lights went out, and no one could see Over the airwaves, the world came to me
And I had a seat on the very front row And I watched it all on my radio I watched it all on my radio
