Stones on the Radio - Ron Pope

Lean touchdown in Jackson

Heat crushed me like a stone

Vodka tonics on my breath

My hangover hung me low

Shades block out the sun now

There ain’t nothing here I haven’t seen

Red-eye flight through the Midwest night

It’s just another Monday to me

But lightning doesn’t always strike

And love is just a roll of the dice

So come, take a seat, enjoy the show

Living my wildest dreams from when I was sixteen

And heard the Stones on the radio

Friday night in Memphis

Dead habits, they follow me

And now this hotel room smells of cheap perfume

Same songs been on repeat

Miles count down the seasons

Out the window, see the falling snow

After six months gone, staying up till dawn

I wish I knew when I was headed home

But lightning doesn’t always strike

And love is just a roll of the dice

So come, take a seat, enjoy the show

Living my wildest dreams from when I was sixteen

Heard the Stones on the radio

But I’ve made enough mistakes

For them to raise that scaffold up

And I could play the fallen angel

But I think I’ve had enough

Oh, I think I’ve had enough

The lightning doesn’t always strike

And love is just a roll of the dice

So come on, take a seat, enjoy the show

Oh, lightning doesn’t always strike

And love is just a roll of the dice

So come, take a seat, enjoy the show

Living my wildest dreams from when I was sixteen

Heard the Stones on the radio

Living my wildest dreams from when I was sixteen

And heard the Stones on the radio
