1956
When the DJ broke to play us something new
Hearts broke, hearts skipped
And we knew that this was made for me and you
When he told us he was lonely
He was speaking from the heart

I was much too young to know him
But I knew it was the start
I was raised on the radio, raised on the radio
Just an all American boy who found his favorite toy

Michelle, lady Jane
Yeah, I fell in love with girls I never met
I learned to play guitar
While the other boys where busy learning math
But all the simplest equations never add up very far

When all my musical persuasions
Kept me reaching for the stars, raised on the radio
Just an all American boy, I got my favorite toy

Remembering when times were bad
Love is all we need and love was all we had
