Seventeen, the only way I had a car Is after I dropped my Momma off where she needed to go It had four bald tires With the ceiling falling and the windows stuck But the only thing I cared about was the radio We turned it on, turned it up to 10 And everybody would jump on in Ridin’ down the highway Who wants to be the DJ I’ll find a spot on the side of the road You find something on the radio A real, real good song We'll know it when it comes on We had no money and no place to go All we needed was a radio Grabbed my girl We looked for somewhere to watch the stars A perfect place to put it park and take it slow She sang along To even the ones that she barely knew Still sounded good, a little louder too But we didn’t care I looked at her, she looked at me I’ll never forget that melody Ridin’ down the highway Who wants to be the DJ I’ll find a spot on the side of the road You find something on the radio A real, real good song We'll know it when it comes on We had no money and no place to go All we needed was a radio Hey ya’ll be quiet, that’s my favorite song Hey man, turn it up loud Come on, come on, come on Ridin’ down the highway Who wants to be the DJ I’ll find a spot on the side of the road You find something on the radio A real, real good song We'll know it when it comes on We had no money and no place to go All we needed was a radio
