Song On The Radio Lyrics - Blackie & The Rodeo Kings

(Fearing) 

Talking with my friends around a bottle of red wine 

We laugh a lot, telling jokes, telling lies 

Money in the bank is knowing people that you like 

Knowing people you can trust in troubled times 

'Cause time offers no guarantees 

And it only takes a little thing to bring you to your knees 

To face the music playing now 

Like a song on the radio 

It's sad and it's familiar 

spreading like a rumour 

And everybody knows that old song on the radio 

As clear as black and white 

We can sing it with our eyes closed 

Everybody knows that old song on the radio 

The morning's in the headlines and the tealeaves in my cup 

But I still don't know what isn't true 

The sun rose on the city and everyone so busy 

Making plans up and down the avenue 

A flash of silver caught the public eye 

And we all turned to stare into the New York sky 

To face the music playing now 

Like a song on the radio 

It hurts to have to hear it 

Seemed too cruel to bear 

But everybody knows that old song on the radio 

The red, white and blue 

It's a scar and a tattoo 

And everybody knows that old song on the radio
