Trumpet Sunset Serenade

歌词

We had a Chevy with a half-tank of gas, Two dollars in our pockets and a foot on the dash, Mama had the supper waiting back home, But we’d take the long way just to ride alone. There was a football field underneath the lights, Friday night dreams and Saturday nights, A girl named Jenny with a blue-eyed smile, Made a young man think he could stay awhile. Chorus Back when the radio played our song, And a country mile could take all night long, When a dollar bought a tank and a Coke was cheap, And the promises we made were the ones we’d keep. Yeah, we didn’t have much, but we thought we had it all, Running through the summer till the first leaves fell. Take me back to those simpler days, Back when the radio played. Verse 2 We’d sit on the hood underneath the stars, Talking ’bout forever and old beat-up cars, The cassette kept turning till the batteries died, And she put her head right there on my shoulder beside. Sunday morning, Sunday shoes, Coffee in the kitchen and the evening news, Daddy’s old stories, Grandpa’s chair, Funny how you don’t know you’re living the good old years. Chorus Back when the radio played our song, And a country mile could take all night long, When a dollar bought a tank and a Coke was cheap, And the promises we made were the ones we’d keep. Yeah, we didn’t have much, but we thought we had it all, Running through the summer till the first leaves fell. Take me back to those simpler days, Back when the radio played. Bridge Now the years roll by like a midnight train, Some folks leave and some things change, But every once in a while that old song comes through, And for three minutes I’m seventeen with you. Final Chorus Back when the radio played our song, When we swore those summer nights would last forever long, When the whole wide world was a two-lane road, And home was the only place we needed to go. Yeah, I’d give anything just to hear those tires roll, See that girl beside me and that sunset glow. Take me back to those simpler days, Back when the radio played. Outro Yeah, turn it up one more time… Back when the radio played.
