The Long Ryders

Wdia

Sid Griffin, Stephen Mccarthy

You could hear it all over the airwaves
You could hear it all over the south
Red hot and blue outta Memphis
Music make you hush your mouth
Maybe my mama knows something about that music they play
She's the mother station of negroes
WDIA

Blue hot Williams is-a spinnin' them platters
Johnny and his friends listen in
His daddy, he'd like to stop 'em, and keep the boy from livin' in sin
When kids come together through music
The old folks don't know what to say
Johnny's got his ears on 1070 for
WDIA
WDIA

It seems to his dad the whole world's changin'
His music should take half the blame
And now his boy's thrown down his law books
Will music hurt the family name

Johnny grew up to be a musician
Leadin' a nine piece band
Rockin' like the Duke covers Dixie
Messed up his ol' daddy's plans
Drivin' late night after four sets
The gas radio starts to play
Johnny flicks the dial to 1070 for
WDIA
WDIA
WDIA
WDIA
