1956, when the DJ broke to play us something new
Hearts broke, hearts skipped, and we knew that this made for me and you
When he told us he was lonely he was speaking from the heart
I was much to young to know but I knew it was a start
I was raised on the radio
Raised on the radio
Just an all-american boy
I found my favorite toy
Michelle, Lady Jane, yeah I fell in love with girls I never met
I learned to play guitar while the other boys were busy learning math
But all the simplest equations never add up very far
And all my musical persuasions kept me reaching for the stars
I was raised on the radio
Raised on the radio
Just an all-American boy
I've got my favorite toy
I was raised on the radio
Yeah I was raised on the radio
Remembering when times were bad
Love is all we need and love was all we had
1964 when the DJ broke to play us something new...
Raised on the radio
Raised on the radio
Just an all-American boy
I've got my favorite toy
I was raised on the radio
Yeah I was raised on the radio
Just like an all-american boy
I've got my favorite toy
I was raised on the radio
Raised on the radio
Yes I was raised on the radio
FADE
