Big Sister's Radio

It was hangin' in the corner like a candy ball and chain
 It was nothin' 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 otta 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 DJ's from so far away
 You otta 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
 And a song was music to that young boys ear
 Memphis and New Orleans, only half a turn away
 Nine hundred miles turnin' 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
 On for my heartaches and one for my tears
 And a song was music to a young boys ears
 Now that I'm grown I long for those nights
 In the corner by the bedroom light
 Laughin' and a singin', dancin' in my drawers
 Spinin' that dial till my fingers got sore
 All of those DJ's I wished I could call
 Lookin' back I know I owe it all
 To that little transistor, my big sister's radio
