At night in Georgia from across the US
Like music radio from WLS
Giving the boy the newest in glam rock

From my small town to the biggest city
Pointing my heart where it wanted to be
Surrounded by buildings and artsy city stock

My childhood radio
Guardian of the 70s

I was in Memphis with (W)HBQ
And got progressive with (W)MC too
Starting my path with the normal and the weirdI

t was my favorite type of play
Listening to radio all night and all day
Bathing in music is how my brain is geared

My childhood radio
Guardian of the 70s

Long time ago before we met
We listened to the Lafayette

Two shortwave bands with the click of a dial
Escorts the world to my state of denial
It’s pinging and ponging a squawky tinny mess

Know what you’ve got when you hear the chime
Coordinated Universal Time
That rock steady pulse helps somebody I guess

My childhood radio
Guardian of the 70s

Lafayette

Long time ago before we met
We listened to the Lafayette
And when we met… well we had met
The Lafayette had made the set

Coordinated Universal Time
