It fit right in my pocket, I'd take it everywhere
Just place it on the window, the reception's better there
I'd run my thumb across it til the station comes in clear
Then I'd sing right along to the sounds that I would hear

From the Opry down in Nashville to the Ozark Jubilee
To the new sounds out of Motown, it all sounded good to me
I sang along with Elvis and played with Bill Monroe
On the stage in my bedroom and my transistor radio
(Daryl Mosley, Rick Lang)

“Grammy-nominated songwriter Rick Lang was my co-writer on the track. He came to me with the idea because a transistor radio is how he first heard popular music,” explains Mosley. “I grew up lying awake at night with a portable radio listening to baseball games from St. Louis, and music from Memphis and Nashville, so I related to it immediately. Rick and I often pitch songs to other artists, but as soon as we finished writing this one, I knew that I had to record it. I was just so connected to the song.”
