Song Title: My Pa’s Radio

Artist: Joe DiDomenico

Mildly inspired by my dad and grandfather who introduced me to music as a kid. I wanted to write something in the Cats in the Cradle vain…as if I could come close!

Song Lyrics

Have a listen son – Then listen to me
Have a listen my son – Then listen to me

Play for me son, you’ve come a long way
The tunes you make will be heard some day
The smile you put on my face today
Will be heard by everyone in their special way

In the years to come, you’ll see what I mean
In the years to come, you’ll see what I mean

Sit down son, and play me a song
A little melody and a lotta heart and soul
I promise you, you’ll never go wrong
When you’re rockin on my Pa’s radio
Keep on rockin on my Pa’s radio

You sure can play son, and unlike me
The songs you play… so magically
You play that guitar son, as loud as you please
Just make sure you’re playin… in the right key!

I want you to know what it’s like to really fly
I want you to know what it’s like to really fly…high!

Play for me son, you’ve come a long way
The tunes you make, will be heard some day
And everyone that hears in their own special way
Will have the same smile you put on my face today

You played me a tune and everything was alright
You played me a tune and everything was alright

Sit down son, and play me a song
A little melody and a lotta heart and soul
I promise you, you’ll never go wrong
When you’re rockin on my Pa’s radio
Keep on rockin on my Pa’s radio
