"And The Radio Played" lyrics

I remember riding shotgun in daddy's Chevrolet
We'd crank up The Pioneers, and we'd sing away
Sometimes he let me take the wheel and we'd drive through town
Couldn't wait to hear my favorite songs coming back around (back around)

And the radio played, Old Flame, I'll Still Be Loving You
I Was Country When Country Wasn't Cool, Forever and Ever Amen
Always On My Mind again and again, Swinging and Smoky Mountain Rain
He Stopped Loving Her Today
We laughed, we cried the 80s away
And the radio played

Bobby was the first boy that I ever kissed
I can still taste the root beer on his lips
We'd turn up the stereo from that bedroom
Climb through the window and make out on the roof

And the radio played, Don't Rock the Jukebox and the Dance
Strawberry Wine and Brand New Man, Love Without End Amen
Time Marches On, again and again, Meet in the Middle and Amazed
Does He Love You?, Independence Day
We laughed we cried the 90s away
And the radio played

I was (raised on the radio, raised on the radio, raised on the radio)
Yeah, and the radio played
I was (raised on the radio, raised on the radio, raised on the radio)

And I hear 'em now
I'm right back in that place
And 20 years from now
I'll look back on today

When the radio played I Hope You'll Dance, You'll Think of Me
What Hurts the Most, Before He Cheats
I Don't Want this Night to End
The House That Built Me, Remember When
Love Story, She's My Kind of Rain
She's Country Forever and for Always
Don't Blink, I Saw God Today
And the radio plays

I was (raised on the radio, raised on the radio, raised on the radio)
And the radio played
I was (raised on the radio, raised on the radio, raised on the radio)

Weren't you (raised on the radio, raised on the radio, raised on the radio)
I was (raised on the radio, raised on the radio, raised on the radio)
