Seventeen, the only way I had a car Is after I dropped my mama off where she needed to go Four bald tires, with the ceiling falling and the window stuck But the only thing that I cared about was the radio We'd turn it on, turn it up to ten, and everybody would jump on in
[Chorus:] Ridin' down the highway Who wants to be the DJ I'll find a spot on the side of the road You find somethin' on the radio Like a feel real good song We'll know it when it comes on Didn't have no money, no place to go All we needed was a radio
I'd grab my girl, we'd look for somewhere to watch the stars The perfect place to put it in park and take it slow She'd sing along to even the ones that she barely knew She still sounded good a little outta tune, but we didn't care I'd look at her, she' d look at me, I'll never forget that melody
[Chorus]
Shhh, hey y'all be quiet That's my favorite song Hey, man, turn it up loud Come on, come on, come on
[Chorus]
All we needed, all we needed now Was a, was a, was a radio
