04 Radio Flyer

I remember Christmas morn’ back in 1968
I woke up at the crack of dawn
Oh Lord I couldn’t wait
I peeked around the newel post, I just had to see
If that thing that I wanted the most
Was waiting there for me

It was fire engine red
With some words painted on that said

Radio Flyer
Radio Flyer
Take me away back to yesterday
Radio Flyer

Me and Jimmy were taking’ turns rolling down the street
Each time the memory returns, I swear it’s just as sweet
Wind was blowing through my hair as I raced along
Ten years old without a care
My heart beating strong

It was fire engine red
With some words painted on that said

Radio Flyer
Radio Flyer
Take me away back to yesterday
Radio Flyer

I rode her till I grew too old
And I put that dream away
My trusty steed of times untold
I found her again today

There was wonder on my son’s face
As he climbed inside
Some things you can’t replace
And I took him for a ride

It was fire engine red
With some words painted on that said

Radio Flyer
Radio Flyer
Take me away back to yesterday
Radio Flyer
