Heart Beats to the Radio
Tune into Nostalgia: Heartfelt Echoes of a Boy's Journey Through Life
Lyrics
I was 6 years old sittin' shotgun seat in daddies ford
I have a childhood memory at the age of 6, sitting in the front seat of my father's Ford.
It was lightning blue, bungee cord held the door
The car was colored lightning blue, and a bungee cord served as a makeshift door latch.
That tape deck wore out to blue suede shoes
The tape deck frequently played Elvis Presley's "Blue Suede Shoes" until it wore out.
There was only one thing a boy could do…id say
Despite the worn-out tape deck, there was a special action or sentiment that a young boy could engage in.
Daddy can you turn up the radio
The child requests his father to increase the volume of the radio.
I wanna sing along to every song I know
Expressing a desire to sing along to familiar songs.
That Elvis Presley will never get old
Elvis Presley's music is timeless and will never lose its appeal.
I swear my heart beats to the radio
The speaker feels a deep connection, claiming that their heartbeat is synchronized with the radio.
I swear my heart beats to the radio
Reiteration of the profound connection between the speaker's heart and the radio.
Bought my first car for 200 bucks
The speaker bought their first car for $200, with a fortunate deal from their uncle.
My uncle cut me a deal yeah it was just my luck
Luck plays a role in acquiring a 4-door hatchback that only lacks a stereo.
That 4 door hatchback all it needed was a stereo
The new car becomes complete with the addition of a stereo system.
Crank it up to 10 and away I’d go
The speaker enjoys driving away with the volume set to the maximum.
CRANK IT UP TO 10 AND AWAY ID GO
Repetition emphasizing the enthusiasm of turning up the volume to the maximum.
Yeah Id turn up that radio
The act of turning up the radio becomes a recurring and joyful habit.
Sing along to every song I know
Singing along to familiar songs becomes a cherished memory.
Those memories are sold gold
These musical memories hold great value to the speaker.
I swear my heart beats to the radio
Reaffirmation of the deep connection between the speaker's heart and the radio.
I swear my heart beats to the radio
Restatement of the profound connection with the radio.
Now Ive got a 3 foot tall version of me
The speaker now has a younger version of themselves, always present and mimicking their actions.
Everywhere I go, he's gotta be
The presence of the younger self is constant, accompanying the speaker everywhere.
Sittin' back seat in papas old truck
The younger self is now seated in the back of the father's old truck.
Tappin' his toes along to the beat of the drums…and he says
The younger self taps their toes to the beat of the drums, expressing a love for music.
Daddy can you turn up the radio
The child, now in the back seat, asks the father to turn up the radio, mirroring the speaker's past request.
I wanna sing along to every song I know
Expressing a desire to sing along to songs, continuing the generational connection with music.
