lyrics

I'm the guy at the stop light
Banging on the dashboard
Rolling down the highway
Tunes cranked and gas floored
But since country went pop
Pop music's headed south
And I can't take the words
They're trying to put in my mouth
Becasue I grew up singing with the radio
But now I'm grown I wanna know

Why won't the radio
Why won't the radio
Oh, why won't the radio
Sing along with me?

Now I don't care a thing
For no stinking MTV
Those muscle girls and pretty boys
Never meant a thing to me
Market-analyzed playlist
Computerized DJ
Tell me who died
And made him boss anyway
'Cause I grew up singing with the radio
But now I'm grown I wanna know

Why won't the radio
Why won't the radio
Oh, why won't the radio
Sing along with me?
Sing along with me
Sing along with me
Oh, why won't the radio
Sing along with me?

Let's talk about self-actualization
Feeling like the voice of a deaf generation
Dancing in their seats to the classic rock station
Gotta get a piece of that mass communication

You can call it sour grapes
Say I'm full of baloney
But I'm gonna have a talk
With the ghost of Marconi
I got a hammer, got a bell
Got this song that I'm singing
Gonna do what I can
To let freedom keep ringing
'Cause I grew up singing with the radio
But now I'm grown I wanna know

Why won't the radio
Why won't the radio
Oh, why won't the radio
Sing along with me?
Sing along with me
Sing along with me
Oh, why won't the radio
Sing along with me?
