WDIA

Written by Sid Griffin and Stephen McCarthy

You could hear it all over the airwaves

You could hear it all over the south

Red hot and blue outta Memphis

Music make you hush your mouth

Maybe my mama knows something about that music they play

She's the mother station of negroes

WDIA

Blue hot Williams is-a spinnin' them platters

Johnny and his friends listen in

His daddy, he'd like to stop 'em, and keep the boy from livin' in sin

When kids come together through music

The old folks don't know what to say

Johnny's got his ears on 1070 for

WDIA

It seems to his dad the whole world's changin'

His music should take half the blame

And now his boy's thrown down his law books

Will music hurt the family name

Johnny grew up to be a musician

Leadin' a nine piece band

Rockin' like the Duke covers Dixie

Messed up his ol' daddy's plans

Drivin' late night after four sets

The gas radio starts to play

Johnny flicks the dial to 1070 for

WDIA
