Out past the county dump was where I grew up
Out past the edge of town was where I hung around
Finding ways of filling up my live long days
Trying to get someone to come around and take me into town or just anyplace
I was waiting on the radio to play that song. My tape deck's ready on record and pause.
I'll sit waiting on the radio to play that song all night long.
Before the suburbs grew and the college too.
Before we knew that we needed more discount superstores
We found ways of filling up our live long days
Trying to find someone who's going out just to drive around or anything
Except waiting for the radio to play that song
The tape deck in this car wont play at all
We're still waiting on the radio to play that song
All night long
I can get some liquor if you can get some smoke
And I know a little cul-de-sac where no one ever goes
And we could both just sit there getting high and getting cold
Yes, we could both just sit there feeling young and getting old
And just waiting on the radio to play that song
Our tape desks ready on record and pause
Yes, we'll wait there for the radio to play that song all night long.
