I had a six-transistor when I was a kid

Under my pillow, I kept it hid

When the lights went out, and no one could see

Over the airwaves, the world came to me



I'd go through the stations 'til I found a game

I knew how they played by the sounds of their names

The sluggers hit homers, those pitchers threw smoke

And I watched it all on my radio



At the crack of the bat, I knew how far it'd go

And I watched it all on my radio

I watched it all on my radio



When the ball game was over, the wrap-up complete

I'd search through the static 'til I found a beat

The Beatles and Creedence, the Stones and the Byrds

You should have seen all the groups that I heard



And on Saturday night when the skies were all clear

A station from Nashville sometimes would appear

The steel guitars and soft southern twang

The stars of the Grand Ole Opry would sing



And I had a seat on the very front row

And I watched it all on my radio

I watched it all on my radio



And right about midnight, some preacher came on

To tell me what's right, to tell me what's wrong

And there was a test at the sound of the beep

"It was only a test" the voice would repeat

And the National Anthem would sing me to sleep



I had a six-transistor when I was a kid

Under my pillow, I kept it hid

When the lights went out, and no one could see

Over the airwaves, the world came to me



And I had a seat on the very front row

And I watched it all on my radio

I watched it all on my radio
