Lyrics
I don't listen to the radio anymore
Expressing a decision to stop listening to the radio.
Sick of dialing up my favorite station
Frustration with tuning in to a preferred station.
Just to hear the dj play a bunch of dime store songs
Criticizing the songs played by the DJ as low-quality.
Going on and on about how sweet life is
Disdain for narratives overly emphasizing the sweetness of life.
I wanna hear about a heartbreak
Desire for songs that depict heartbreak for relatability.
So I can relate
Expressing a need to connect with the emotions in a song.
Give me a song where the cowboy rides away
Preference for a song featuring a cowboy's departure.
I need a shot of that lonesome steel guitar
Craving the sound of a lonesome steel guitar for comfort.
To cover up this broken heart
Using music to mask the pain of a broken heart.
And I wanna hear about the way the rain came down
Yearning for a song narrating the experience of rain.
get lost i n the rolling thunder
Expressing a desire to be immersed in the ambiance of a storm.
While the memories pull me under
Memories resurfacing during the storm's intensity.
But nobody seems to give a damn about sad song like they did before
Noting a perceived decline in appreciation for sad songs.
So I don't listen to the radio anymore
Reaffirming the decision to avoid radio due to song dissatisfaction.
I used to crank it up on nights like this
Recalling a time when the radio was a source of solace.
Let those FM waves crash down
Amplifying the volume to drown emotional pain with music.
Let it drown the hurt out
Using radio waves to overcome personal distress.
But all these cheap ass songs can't hold a flame
Criticizing contemporary songs as lacking emotional depth.
And it just ain't the same
Expressing dissatisfaction with the current music landscape.
Give me a song where the cowboy rides away
Reiterating the preference for cowboy-themed songs.
I need a shot of that lonesome steel guitar
Desiring the comforting sound of a steel guitar.
To cover up this broken heart
Using music as a coping mechanism for heartbreak.
And I wanna hear about the way the rain came down
Longing for songs describing the experience of rain.
Get lost in the rolling thunder
Getting immersed in the intensity of a thunderstorm.
While the memories pull me under
Reflecting on past memories during the storm.
But nobody seems to give a damn about sad song like they did before
Noting a perceived decline in societal interest in sad songs.
So I don't listen to the radio anymore
Reaffirming the decision to avoid radio due to the lack of sad songs.
The radio anymore
Repeating the sentiment of not listening to the radio.
I'm picking up my phone dialing up that request line
Attempting to make a song request to satisfy personal preferences.
I know they know my voice by heart but I'll beg 'em one more time
Highlighting familiarity with the radio station's staff.
Give me a song where the cowboy rides away
Reiterating the desire for a cowboy-themed song.
I need a shot of that lonesome steel guitar
Seeking solace in the sound of a lonesome steel guitar.
To cover up this broken heart
Using music to cope with a broken heart.
And I wanna hear about the way the rain came down
Longing for songs describing the experience of rain.
Get lost in the rolling thunder
Immersing oneself in the ambiance of a thunderstorm.
While the memories pull me under
Being pulled into memories by the storm's intensity.
But nobody seems to give a damn about sad song like they did before
Observing a lack of societal interest in sad songs.
So I don't listen to the radio anymore
Reaffirming the decision to avoid radio due to the absence of sad songs.
I don't listen to the radio anymore
Repeating the statement of not listening to the radio.
I don't listen to the radio
Final confirmation of the decision to abstain from radio listening.
