Oakley's Radio

Just can't wait until Saturday
When all the chores are done
Goin' straight to Oakley's place
Fast as we can run
He'll fire up that old Zenith set
Until the break of dawn
Dad says "Mama get them kids
The Opry's comin' on"
Oakley's got a radio
Music's in the air
Let's head on down to Oakley's house
Oakley he don't care
Half the hauler's in his yard
Lordy I declare
Oakley's got a radio
I'm gonna meet you there
Oh I'm gonna meet you there
Oakley'd seen it advertised
In Farmer's Magazine
So he ordered one shipped to his house
Back in the Evergreens
The day the postman hauled it up his road
Oakley shouted out with joy
Said "You won't believe what I just got
All the way from Illinois"
They had call-all lamps and kerosene
No electricity
Raise the floorboard on the Model A
To get the battery
Hook up the receiver
Antenna hangin' in a tree
Run the dial to old 650
Down in Nashville, Tennessee
Oakley's got a radio
Music's in the air
Let's head on down to Oakley's house
Oakley he don't care
Half the hauler's in his yard
Lordy I declare
Oakley's got a radio
I'm gonna meet you there
Oh I'm gonna meet you there
Oh how I miss those days gone by
So many years ago
Standing in the moonlight
Starin' at the Zenith's glow
Now I've owned every kind of record player
And fancy stereo
But I'd trade 'em all for one more night
Of Oakley's radio
Oakley's got a radio
Music's in the air
Let's head on down to Oakley's house
Oakley he don't care
Half the hauler's in his yard
Lordy I declare
Oakley's got a radio
I'm gonna meet you there
Oh I'm gonna meet you there
