Where Do All The Hit Songs Go

Where Do All The Hit Songs Go Words and music by Philip Scott Poli c2020
Sometimes there is a truth that rings
From kids who say the darndest things
That drag up truths from deep inside
That we always knew but we couldn't find
I was driving with my boy today
And a song came on that used to play
We knew every word and we always sang along
And he asked where had that good song gone

Where do all the hit songs go when they fall off the radio
When they decide to move the list and make room for some brand new hits
When they've out played a favorite song and it's time for it to move along
Dad there's a thing I'd really like to know
Where do all the hit songs go

So I told the story of my grand folks
And taking them to see a show
Some music stars from long ago
The Mills boys singing Glow Worm Glow
And the Ink Spots singing Whispering Grass
And before my eyes their whole lives passed
Hopes and dreams wars and pain
They sang through tears to each refrain
And that music seemed to reach inside their souls
And find the place where hit songs go

Like Somewhere Over The Rainbow
And Blue Eyes Cry'in In The Rain
Staying Alive the Way That We Were
As Time Goes By

So where do all the hit songs go when they fall off the radio
When they decide to move the list and make room for some brand new hits
When they've out played a favorite song and it's time for it to move along
There's an old juke box in a music lover's soul
And that's where all the hit songs go
That's where do all the hit songs go
