I grew up out of the way
Not many places to go
Spent my time listening to the AM
On a transistor radio
Was always there for me
I never wanted more
When I was climbing trees
Or when we were playing war
Chorus:
Transistor radio
Cheap fantastic thing
Transistor radio
Was the only thing I had to bring
Transistor radio
I still remember the joy
That little plastic, static box
Was my favorite toy
The sonic goodness that came from that speaker
Sounded like a symphony
Touched my soul and let me know
It was there for me
Chorus:
Transistor radio
Cheap fantastic thing
Transistor radio
Was the only thing I had to bring
Transistor radio
I still remember the joy
That little plastic, static box
Was my favorite toy

You & me
Growing old
Together
Ride the wave
See the show
Together
Crack the code
Set it free
Together
Grasp the koan
Watch it slip
Forever
Walk the world and see the sights
Douse the darkness with our light
Rise to meet it through our unity
All we are is all we’ve got
All we are is quite a lot
All we are is what we’re meant to be
Crest the hill
See the view
Together
You & me
We’re a thing
Forever

You take off into the night
And keep on until morning
Right about first light
Find yourself without warning
You never know who you're gonna meet
In the middle of your street
A vision in the mirror
Your mirage becomes real
The distance gets clearer
‘tween what you know and what you feel
You never know who you're gonna meet
In the middle of the heat
Your mind takes flight
Shows you every scene
The highway at night
Is a true time machine
You never know who you're gonna meet
Till you get up from your seat
