Transistor Radio - Dedicated to Wolfman Jack

Across the lake near the field where the old man’s buried,

There’s a cedar shake church where my sister got married

When sister left home, she know I’d miss her

so she gave me her room and cheap transistor

Transistor Radio

I can still hear the static and wolf man callin’ on my transistor radio

Shoo bop bop bop, da do run run

Pumping from a station down in Tijuana

The church bells rang but they never sounded sweet

as the guitar twang and the big boss beat

Transistor radio.

I can still hear the static and the wolf man callin’ on my transistor radio

Voodoo lotion from south of the border

Back beat commotion and a hint of disorder

Songs about cars, school, music, and girls

Sounds about freedom and a strange new world.

I was a little boy listen to a 9 volt box

Trying to hear the future as the signals crossed

Washing through the air waves from across the nation

Pulling in the music  from a rebel station

I’m back in daddy’s attic and the night is falling

I can still hear the static and the wolf man callin’

I can still hear the static and the wolf man howlin’

On my transistor radio …
