lyrics

Hear the semis shiftin’ down heading west
Out on the interstate
The sad lowing of the cattle out at the stockyard
Waiting on their fate

Clear channel radio all the way from Chicago
Set my young soul free
Del Shannon, Johnny Cash
Bruce Springsteen, Neil Young, the Clash
Whispered just to me

Laying in my twin sized bed
Soft-lit by the glow
Of the luminescent display
Of my flip clock radio
Dreaming of a wider world
Hoping one day I would be
Anywhere but there
Anyone but me
Anyone but me

I’d sleepwalk home from school
Lock my door
And put the headphones on
Lay the needle on the record
Close my eyes
In an instant I was gone

Music fed my soul
Gave life meaning
Made me whole
Became my everything
I hung on each and every word
Studied every song I heard
I’d close my eyes and sing

I swear, I felt the pain
Of Del Shannon crying’
As he was walkin’ in the rain

Laying in my twin sized bed
Soft-lit by the glow
Of the luminescent display
Of my flip clock radio
Dreaming of a wider world
Hoping one day I would be
Anywhere but there
Anyone but me
Anyone but me
