I was only a kid back in '71
When I found a new place to go
Under the covers by the light of the moon
Listening to the radio
And the sounds that I heard painted pictures and dreams
And memories so magical
Now I search down the dial for some kind of spark
To light a fire in my soul
And it's been so long
And it's still so strong
That nothing else can get to me the same
I close my eyes and turn back time
And go back, back when the music played
ย
I held my vinyl like a newborn child
Memorizing every word
Every cover was a window
Into a far off special world
All the summer nights, love bites, music was there
I wrapped it around myself
And every single song that I loved so much
Is still there on the shelf
And it's been so long
And it's still so strong
When I don't know if I'll make it through the day
I close my eyes and turn back time
And go back, back when the music played
ย
Hey boy, what you doing it for?
It was music that meant it, but it ain't no more
The right demographic, the data and facts
It's all that we need that we fill in the gaps
Hey boy, what you doing it for?
We gotta listen with our innocence
Protect the little kid inside
You'll hear nothing with a cynical ear
And a hard heart can never fly
I'm just happy that I'm old enough
To recall when rock was young
All the joy of discovery
When there were still songs to be sung
And it's been so long
And it's still so strong
That nothing else can get to me the same
I close my eyes and turn back time
And go back, back when the music played
When the music played
ย
Back when the music played
