lyrics

You know the town I grew up in
Wasn't quite North and it wasn't quite South
And it was filled full of nothing
And I was the only one trying to get out
The only thing that ever brightened it up
Was the Ferris wheel and the carnival truck
And making bets against Lady Luck

Turn the radio on
Turn the radio up
Everything else moves by so slow
Last night I fell in love
Fell in love with the radio

You know the town I was born in
Never was nothing to write home about
Looking at the faces on a Monday morning
Trying so damn hard to cover up their doubts
Work at the factory, don't ask questions son
Keep your head down, do like your grandfather done
Never have hopes, don't have dreams that's just dumb

Turn the radio on
Turn the radio up
Everything else moves by so slow
Last night I fell in love
Fell in love with the radio

Nothing ever changes round here
Unless you turn that dial
Drown it all with yet another beer
Singing all the while

Turn the radio on
Turn the radio up
Everything else moves by so slow
Last night I fell in love
Fell in love with the radio
