Country Radio

I work at the mall food court
When I get home
I fix something to eat
Settle into my seat
And turn on the country radio
I know every word
To every song
And they make these lonely nights a little less lonely
'Cause then I’m under the stars
Regular at the bar
Got a perfect girl, I got a worn in truck
We go down to the river
The moonlight is silver
But most of all I get to be in love
I wanna be that boy, I wanna be that girl
I wanna know what it’s like to fall in love like
Most of the rest of the world
But as far as these songs will take me
Is as far as I’ll go
I’m just a gay kid in a small town
Who loves country radio
I feel it in old time
I feel it brand new
The lights on refrain, the secrets in pain
Like only a song can know you
But then I close my eyes
It’s like I click my heels
That’s me in the story and the story is real
It works like a charm, I’ve got him on my arm
We’re taking a chance on a dance from the band
Is our favorite song, we’re singing along
And tonight, he’s gonna ask my hand
I wanna be that boy, I wanna be that girl
I wanna know what it’s like to fall in love like
Most of the rest of the world
But as far as these songs will take me is as far as I’ll go
I’m just a gay kid in a small town
Who loves country radio
And as I’m driving to work
The sign at your church says, «Repent now»
You can’t go back to the ways of the past
So I go twice as fast to turn you on
So I can live right now
That boy
I wanna be that girl
I wanna know what it’s like to find out like
Most of the rest of the world
I wanna be that boy (I wanna be that boy)
As far as these songs will take me is as far as I’ll go
I’m just a gay kid in a small town
Who loves country radio
