waiting tables at your restaurant job
a stranger reads the paper in the booth
where i stop
to say hello
when i’m in town
to ask a friend if you’re around
Pre-Chorus:
i promise i’m not too far
when you’re alone in your brand new car
driving your new black car
into
the rain
Chorus:
are you listening to the radio
are you driving down a city road
alone in your new black car
i imagine
you there.
Verse:
i’m sitting by the window here
the morning birds will reappear
and i feel empty
our songs are
on the radio
you call me up but i have to go
“i’m sorry angel.
i’m sorry.
i’ll call you
right back
i swear.”
you think i’ve left you there
alone with an empty chair
but i whisper your name
Chorus:
are you listening to the radio
are you driving down a city road
alone in your new black car
the
wind in your hair
Bridge:
are you tired of watching the rain hit the glass
all alone but aware of the places we've passed
when we
were together and singing along to the songs
are you now? are you now?
i'm thinking of you in your college town
are
you thinking of me as you're driving around
are you listening to me? are you listening?
are you listening to the radio?
Chorus:
are you listening to the radio
are you driving down a city road
alone in your new black car
the
wind in your hair
Are you listening to the radio
