Looking at the radio caught up in a dream,

Hopin' that the weatherman would say good things,
G
Like no rain on Friday for the drive-in movie,
C
Little kids didn't have a care,
G
There was love growing up everywhere,
F
But when I open my eyes and the dream stops playin',
G
You can still find me somewhere saying,

You wear bell-bottom jeans get a double take,
