[00:13.238] My daddy had a pontiac on the beige-er side of yellow
[00:18.521] He was a young man then and I was a little fella
[00:23.831] I'd play in that bench back seat
[00:26.089] And listen to the songs get sung
[00:28.949] He couldn't carry a tune in a bucket
[00:31.299] But he'd sing at the top of his lungs
[00:34.407] Carry on my wayward son on the hippie radio
[00:39.431] Songs about the flower babies and the birth of rock and roll
[00:44.852] And I was a band I would stand
[00:47.444] And we'd bounce down the road
[00:50.386] A boy and his dad in a pontiac with that hippie radio
[01:01.464] Can't' remember if it was seventeen maybe eighteen is right
[01:06.183] But I'll never forget those baby blues
[01:08.937] And the glow of that dashboard light
[01:12.190] I'd won her heart the week before
[01:14.382] And it was hot right from the start
[01:17.464] I busted her brother billy's mouth for makin' fun of my car
[01:22.311] It was white wedding and rebel yell on the hippie radio
[01:27.757] I was a werewolf in london
[01:30.537] And she was lady marmalade's soul
[01:33.644] And I'd crank the band take her hand
[01:35.498] And we'd pull off back a road
[01:38.926] A boy and his girl in a pontiac and the hippie radio
[01:55.891] Four years and seven days from tying cans to the bumper
[02:01.210] I was pacing a maternity floor my flower baby was a mother
[02:06.465] My hands were shaking as we were leaving taking our boy home
[02:11.712] My heart was full and in my head
[02:13.933] I could hear a long long song
[02:18.129] Cat's in the cradle and the silver spoon on the hippie radio
[02:23.467] A-b-c 1-2-3 don't blink or he'll be gone
[02:28.915] And I took her hand and
[02:30.373] She just smiled with a look that said I know
[02:34.314] A boy and his dad
[02:35.407] And a boy and his girl in a pontiac
[02:41.224] And the hippie radio
