Turn the Radio On
Turn the Radio On: Journey to the Top of Life's Dirt Road
Lyrics
Dollar bills, need 'em
Dollar bills are necessary.
Kids, gotta feed 'em
Responsibility to provide for children.
Fans, greet 'em
Acknowledging and interacting with fans.
Horses, lead 'em
Guiding and leading horses.
Backs, scratch 'em
Taking care of one's back, possibly metaphorical.
No reaction
No visible emotional response.
Just matter of fact-in'
Stating facts without emotional involvement.
Songs need traction
Songs need popularity and attention.
It's a long dirt road to the top
Success is a challenging journey.
If you don't turn the radio on
Listening to the radio is crucial for success.
Yeah, it's a long dirt road to the top
Reiteration of the challenging journey.
If you don't turn the radio on
Emphasizing the importance of radio.
You can't turn it up if it ain't on
Music can only be enjoyed when turned on.
So DJ play my fuckin' song
Requesting the DJ to play the song.
House, can't buy it
Certain things are unattainable.
Top shelf, can't try it
Inaccessibility of top-shelf items.
Prevost, can't ride it
Unable to afford a luxurious Prevost vehicle.
I ain't gonna lie
Admission of limitations or honesty.
It's a long dirt road to the top
Reiteration of the challenging journey.
If you don't turn the radio on
Radio remains crucial for success.
Yeah, it's a long dirt road to the top
Continuation of the challenging journey.
If you don't turn the radio on
Underlining the importance of the radio.
You can't turn it up if it ain't on
Music enjoyment requires activation.
So DJ play my fuckin' song
Requesting the DJ to play the song.
Long dirt road to the top
Emphasizing the difficulty of the journey.
If you don't turn the radio on
Importance of turning on the radio.
Long dirt road to the top
Reiteration of the challenging journey.
If you don't turn the radio on
Highlighting the role of the radio.
It's a long dirt road to the top
Restating the arduous journey.
If you don't turn the radio on
Radio remains essential for success.
Yeah, it's a long dirt road to the top
Continuation of the challenging journey.
If you don't turn the radio on
Emphasizing the role of the radio.
You can't turn it up if it ain't on
Music requires activation for enjoyment.
So DJ play my fuckin' song
Requesting the DJ to play the song.
Yeah, it's 4 AM um, that was The Cadillac Three with "Play My Fucking Song"
Informing the time and the song title.
Geez, geez, Tom, probably not gonna hear that one again
Expressing doubt about hearing the song again.
Yeah, no sir-ee, Bob, you got that, Jesus
Confirmation of not hearing the song again.
I mean, who do these fucking guys think they are?
Questioning the perceived arrogance of others.
Oh shit, did I just hear them over there? (Relax, relax)
Realizing the presence of the mentioned individuals.
