歌词
It was hanging in the corner
Like a candy ball and chain
It wasn't nothing she ever thought about
Didn't know it was gone the day she moved out
In my hand if I pointed it just right
You oughta heard what come to me at night
On that little transistor, my big sister's radio
It couldn't hold a candle
To a mighty stereo
Only had one speaker, only had one dial
Man, that radio used to make me smile
So many DJs from so far away
You oughta heard the records they would play
On that little transistor, my big sister's radio
My big sister's transistor radio
Had a song for my heart and a song for my soul
One for my heartaches and one for my tears
Every song was music to that young boy's ears
Memphis and New Orleans
Only half a turn away
Nine hundred miles, turning that dial
And the music would start to play
I heard that old soul rock and roll, rhythm and blues
Man, I didn't know what I was getting into
On that little transistor, my big sister's radio
My big sister's transistor radio
Had a song for my heart and a song for my soul
One for my heartaches and one for my tears
Every song was music to that young boy's ears
Now that I'm grown I long for those nights
In the corner by the bedroom light
Laughing and a-singing, dancing in my drawers
Spinning that dial 'til my fingers got sore
All of those DJs I wished I could call
Looking back, I know I owe it all
To that little transistor, my big sister's radio
To that little transistor, my big sister's radio
When I first heard John Lee
I first heard rhythm and blues
And I first heard Aretha Franklin, you know I did
I first heard Wizzle Biggin' and Otis Redding too
I heard 'em on my (Big sister's radio)
I heard 'em on my (Big sister's radio)
I heard 'em on my (Big sister's radio)
I heard 'em on my (Big sister's radio)
Yeah, I heard it on my (Big sister's radio)
You know I heard it on (Big sister's radio)
Late in the midnight hour (Big sister's radio)
Listening to the radio (Big sister's radio)
I heard Wolfman Jack (Big sister's radio)
I heard it on a (Big sister's radio)
