Old Radio Of MineWords & Music By:
John Voit & Red Johnson
Pub: 2000 Count Music BMI
This song was brought to me by John Voit, (who is also the producer of this project) I
sat down with him and we added a couple of verses and it sounded good so I recorded it. It
deals with the changes in country music, right or wrong.
1. I remember daddys' stories, Bout his trip to Tennessee
How he saw E T and Lefty, on the Grand Ol Opry
Son I wish you still could hear, Ol Hank and Patsy Cline
The way they used to sound on this, Old Radio Of Mine
2. There's changes at the Opry, Music Row and TNN
And the legends we all loved, have been scattered to the wind
You won't hear Roy Acuff Son, or Johnny walk the line
The way it used to sound on this, Old Radio Of Mine
Cho:
It was real country music, crying steel and lead guitars
Fiddles dripping honey, for lovers in their cars
You'd hear those love and cheatin songs
Bout drinking too much wine
Oh the way they used to sound on this, Old Radio Of Mine
3. Now country musics new breed, they're all singing like a bird
If it were'nt for rock guitars and drums, they'd be the best I've heard
They play them on the big top ten, and that would be just fine
If It sounded like it did on this, Old Radio Of Mine
4. When you get old and tired Son, and thinking back of me
Take my old friend and tune it to, the Grand Ol Opry
When daddy gave it to me, T'was the best of it's kind
Real country always played on this, Old Radio Of Mine
Cho:
I guess I'm from the Old School, I like music pure and sweet
When Patsy, Hank and Lefty, would bring them to their feet
Some folks think it's just old stuff, but so is vintage wine
I heard the best there was on this, Old Radio Of Mine
