I Watched It All (On My Radio)

Lyrics

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
 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
