Mark Heard - On the Radio lyrics
[Mark Heard - On the Radio lyrics]
Ooh, yeah (O oh)
Greenback band of the hour
Setting half the trends we know
They've got the power they're on the radio
(Oh, oh)
Flap trap terminal DJ (Oh, yes)
Repeating everything he know
He picks the hit's hey, he's on the radio
Just by flippin' one button
You got an instant song
You needn't try to learn it
'Cause no one'll like it long
Hark to the three-word poet
Makin' up the words as he goes
But you'd never know it
'Cause he's on the radio (Oh)
Yeah (Whoo, hoo)
I'm talkin' 'bout the radio well, well, well
You know, you know talkin' 'bout the radio
Big wigs in ivory towers
Gotcha forty songs to play
You can hear them every hour
While they're laughing to the bank each day
Play it to me over and over
Play it in your car on the go
Play it on your jukebox
Play it on your radio
Pay no mind what you're playing
But turn it up a whole lot more
(Whole lot more, baby) be like your DJ
Be like your radio
(Want you to be like your radio)
Be like your DJ now be like your radio
(Want you to be like your radio)
Be like your DJ (Come on, baby)
Be like your radio yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Ooh, ooh ooh, yeah
Ah, ah, ah now don't touch that dial!
And lemme hear you smile!
(Talkin' 'bout the radio) ooo yeah
(Ooh, hoo) i said ooh yeah
(Radio) join the crowd
(Talkin' 'bout, talkin' 'bout)
Turn it up loud (The radio)
(Turn it up, baby, I can't hear it)
(I said I can't hear it, turn it up, man)
Oh, oh oh, oh
Oh, oh radio
Mama's little baby likes shortenin'
Shortenin'
Mama's little baby likes shortenin' bread
Mama's little baby likes shortenin'
Shortenin'
Mama's little baby likes shortenin'
Greenback band of the hour
Setting half the trends we know
They've got the power they're on the radio
(Oh, oh)
Flap trap terminal DJ (Oh, yes)
Repeating everything he know
He picks the hit's hey, he's on the radio
Just by flippin' one button
You got an instant song
You needn't try to learn it
'Cause no one'll like it long
Hark to the three-word poet
Makin' up the words as he goes
But you'd never know it
'Cause he's on the radio (Oh)
Yeah (Whoo, hoo)
I'm talkin' 'bout the radio well, well, well
You know, you know talkin' 'bout the radio
Big wigs in ivory towers
Gotcha forty songs to play

While they're laughing to the bank each day

Play it in your car on the go
