[Intro]

Three hundred miles.
Full tank.
Open road.
One simple rule...

Don't touch the damn radio.

[Verse 1]

Got my boots on the dashboard state of mind
Cruise control and a county line
Three songs in and we're doing fine
Then your hand starts creeping toward mine

You say "Honey, let's hear something new"
That's exactly what I don't wanna do
I love you more than this old Chevrolet
But not enough to let you pick the playlist today

[Pre-Chorus]

The wheels keep turning
The speakers glow
There's places we can compromise

This ain't one of those

[Chorus]

Don't touch the radio
Don't spin that dial
You got pop stars, I got outlaws
One of us ain't got no style

Don't touch the radio
Baby let it be
You can have the air conditioning

But the soundtrack belongs to me

[Verse 2]

You played one song and then you played four
Then suddenly we're in a genre war
Some guy is whispering over synthetic drums
Sounding like a hostage reading terms

You call it art, you call it deep
I call it proof that God can sleep
I'm sure they're talented, bless their souls
But so was the guy who invented toll roads

[Chorus]

Don't touch the radio
Don't spin that dial
This car was built for rock and roll
Not emotional trial

Don't touch the radio
I'm begging respectfully
The road is long, the gas ain't cheap

Don't do this thing to me

[guitar refrain]

[Bridge]
(spoken)

See, sweetheart...

Music's a lot like porn.

Most people enjoy it now and then.

Nobody should be sharing it.

Because your favorite thing in the world
might make me wanna throw up in a ditch.

And my favorite thing in the world
might have you calling a therapist.

That's why God invented headphones.

And that's why I drive.

[Guitar Solo]

[Final Chorus]

Don't touch the radio
Don't spin that dial
This car was built for rock and roll
Not emotional trial

Don't touch the radio
Don't reach again
You pick the motel, I'll pick the songs
And everybody wins

Don't touch the radio
That's all I ask of thee
The road is shared

The wheel is mine

And so is 103.3 FM

[Outro]

Love is compromise.

The radio isn't.

[end]
