Seventeen, the only way I had a car

Is after I dropped my mama off where she needed to go

Four bald tires

with the ceiling fallin' and the window stuck

But the only thing I cared about was the radio

We'd turn it on, turn it up to ten

and everybody would jump on in

Riding down the highway

Who wants to be the DJ

I'll find a spot on the side of the road

You find something on the radio

Like a feel-real good song

We'll know it when it comes on

Didn't have no money, no place to go

All we needed was a radio

I'd grab my girl, we'd look for somewhere to watch the stars

The perfect place to put it in park and take it slow

She'd sing along, to even the ones that she barely knew

She still sounded good

a little out of tune, but we didn't care

I'd look at her, she'd look at me

I'll never forget that melody

Riding down the highway

Who wants to be the DJ

I'll find a spot on the side of the road

You find something on the radio

Like a feel real good song

We'll know it when it comes on

Didn't have no money, no place to go

All we needed was a radio

Shh, hey y'all be quiet

That's my favorite song

Hey man turn it up loud

Come on, come on, come on

Riding down the highway

Who wants to be the DJ

I'll find a spot on the side of the road

You find something on the radio

Like a feel-real good song

We'll know it when it comes on

Didn't have no money, no place to go

All we needed was a radio

All we needed, all we needed now

Was a, was a, was a radio
