Michael Martin Murphey - Radio Land lyrics

I remember a country evening When the sun was going down Sittin' on the front porch Listenin' to the sounds While mama did the dishes Daddy rolled a smoke From a can of old Prince Albert His hands as strong as oak And the sounds of the Grand Old Opry came out of Ryman Hall Roy Acuff played the fiddle and sang, Wabash Cannonball Hank Williams whispered, I Saw the Light And people everywhere sat listening in the night Out in radio land, out in radio land We all closed our eyes, listen to the band Out in radio land, out in radio land We all dreamed of radio land Then Wolfman Jack came a howlin' From across the Rio Grande Layin' down the sounds that all the kids could understand Mama and daddy was sleepin' But the kids were wide awake Listenin' to Bill Haley rattle, roll, and shake Ol' Jerry Lee banged on the keys and screamed, Great Balls of Fire Elvis crooned out, Don't Be Cruel The girls swooned with desire Out in radio land, out in radio land We all closed our eyes, listen to the band Out in radio land, out in radio land We all dreamed of radio land I remember summer evenings Late night rock and roll Miles and miles of highway With just my radio I remember a night when it felt so right A lover's moon above And the songs that they were playin' The night we fell in love Out in radio land, out in radio land We all closed our eyes, listen to the band Out in radio land, out in radio land We all dreamed of radio land We both closed our eyes Listened to the band Out in radio land, out in radio land We fell in love in radio land Out in radio land, out in radio land We all closed our eyes, listen to the band Out in radio land, out in radio land We all dreamed of radio land We still close our eyes And listen to the band Out in radio land, out in radio land We still dream in radio land
