Carolina Rain American Radio Lyrics

1st Verse

The first time I kissed Julianne
In a Chevy van that was my old man's
It was George Strait's "Baby Blue"
And when she moved back to San Jose
It was "Missin' You" and "Purple Rain"
That I leaned on to get me through

Pre Chorus

It's been the soundtrack to my life
Since I remember
And my memories were all in stereo

Chorus

American radio
Keeps me singin' along
Livin' my life to the words of the songs
Of lovers and dreamers and hopeless believers
Like me
No matter where I go
I can always find an old friend
Somewhere there on the dial
To sing me right back home
On American radio (yeah, yeah)

2nd Verse

All I have to do is hear two notes
Of "Gimme Three Steps" and I'm back on a boat
With my Grand-dad in 1989
And all I need to hear are the first few words
Of "Jumpin' Jack Flash" or even "Free Bird"
And I'm ready for a good time Chorus

American radio
Keeps me singin' along
Livin' my life to the words of the songs
Of lovers and dreamers and hopeless believers
Like me
No matter where I go
I can always find an old friend
Somewhere there on the dial
To sing me right back home
On American radio (yeah, yeah)

Bridge

It was Randy Travis on the beach
And Barry White in that back seat
The ups and downs, my highs and lows
I lived 'em all in stereo (stereo) (stereo)

Tag Chorus

American radio
Well, I'm still singin' along
Makin' up half 'a the words to the songs
Of lovers and dreamers and hopeless believers
Like me
No matter where I go
I can always find an old friend
Somewhere there on the dial
To sing me right back home (sing me home)
Come on, sing me right back home
On American radio
