"Raised By The Radio" lyrics

I was fifteen
On a vinyl bench seat
That first time daddy let me drive
Grinding gears
But all I could hear
Was The King singing Blue Clear Sky
And then at eighteen
It was all Christine
She's In Love With The Boy was our song
Because her daddy, he didn't like me
I guess Tommy ain't the only one

Yeah I learned that life is a highway
So take it easy, 'cause it just don't happen twice
Walk the line and love like crazy
And live like you won't die
Every day is a winding road
Ain't no doubt I was raised by the radio

At twenty-one I was born to run
And AC/DC had me Back in Black
Well I was raising hell, and then I lost myself
And Much Too Young brought me back
And at twenty-six I met Jesus
Found love without an Amen
But I still wind up down in real low places
Where I found all my rowdy friends

Yeah I learned that life is a highway
So take it easy, 'cause it just don't happen twice
Walk the line, meet in the middle
And live like you won't die
Every day is a winding road
Ain't no doubt I was raised by the radio

Yeah, I've been cranking up that dial as long as I can remember
These songs have raised my glass, saved my life
And they even helped me get lucky a few times
I believe nothing reminds you who you are
Like hearing a song that reminds you where you been
So think back to the songs that define your life
As for me

Life is a highway
So take it easy, 'cause it just don't happen twice
Walk the line, love like crazy
And live like you won't die
Give me the beat boys and free my soul
Ain't no doubt I was raised by the radio
Life's a dance, you learn as you go
Y'all raise 'em up if you were raised by the radio

Yeah I was raised by the radio
