The Beach Boys - That's Why God Made the Radio Album Lyrics

That's why God made the radio
So tune right in, everywhere you go
He waved His hand, gave us rock 'n roll
The soundtrack of falling in love
That's why God made the radio

Feel the music in the air
Find a song to take us there
It's paradise when I lift up my antenna
Receiving your signal like a prayer
Like a prayer

That's why God made the radio
So tune right in, everywhere you go
He waved His hand, gave us rock 'n roll
The soundtrack of falling in love
That's why God made the radio

Making this night a celebration
Spreading the love and sunshine
To a whole new generation
Whole new generation

That's why God made
That's why God made
That's why God made the radio
[4x]

Oh, I wanna take you there
Do you wanna turn back the pages
Memories and photographs
The world has changed
And yet the game
Is still the same

Isn't it time we danced the night away
How about doing it just like yesterday
Every time I think of you
And all of those things we used to do
Remember those nights we spent just you and I
Little did we know how the time would fly
Isn't it time?
Isn't it time?

The good times never have to end
And now's the time to let them happen again
And we can have ourselves a blast
The good times they, aren't only in the past

Isn't it time we danced the night away
How about doing it just like yesterday
Every time I think of you
And all of those things we used to do
Remember those nights we spent just you and I
Little did we know how the time would fly
Isn't it time?
Isn't it time?

And as the sun goes down
We raise our glass to kindness
To all the good times we shared

Isn't it time we get ready and then?
Isn't it time we go steady again?

Isn't it time we danced the night away
How about doing it just like yesterday
Every time I think of you
And all of those things we used to do
Remember those nights we spent just you and I
Little did we know how the time would fly
Isn't it time?
Isn't it time?
[2x]

Looking ahead, with anticipation,
Making each day a new celebration
Seems like it could go on forever,
Long as we can all stay together

We used to get around,
Get up and hit up all the hot spots in town

Spring vacation, good vibration,
Summer weather, we're back together
Easy money, ain't life funny,
Hey what's it to ya, hallelujah

As for the past, it's all behind us,
Happier now, look where life finds us
Singing our songs, is enough reason,
Harmony boys, it's what we believe in

Some said it wouldn't last,
All we can say is we're still having a blast

Spring vacation, good vibration,
Summer weather, we're back together
Easy money, ain't life funny,
Hey what's it to ya, hallelujah

Every night's a special occasion

Spring vacation, good vibration,
Summer weather, we're back together
Easy money, ain't life funny,
Hey what's it to ya, hallelujah

From California to Mexico
Everybody's just gotta know
Dallas Texas to Monterey
Wasting time on a sunny day
Santa Barbara to Jersey Shore
At the line in the grocery store
Everybody who ever knew
The private life of Bill and Sue

The private life of Bill and Sue
The world is wondering what they do
We watch them on our TV screen
Their lives are like a movie scene
The strangest story you ever knew
The private life of Bill and Sue

From California to Mexico
Everybody's just gotta know
Dallas Texas to Monterey
Wasting time on a sunny day
Santa Barbara to Jersey Shore
At the line in the grocery store
Everybody who ever knew
The private life of Bill and Sue

Sometimes life can be so strange
Maybe we're just looking for a change

From California to Mexico
Everybody's just gotta know
Dallas Texas to Monterey
Wasting time on a sunny day
Santa Barbara to Jersey Shore
At the line in the grocery store
Everybody who ever knew
The private life of Bill and Sue

From California to Mexico
Everybody's just gotta know
Dallas Texas to Monterey
Wasting time on a sunny day

"Bill and Sue, stars of the once popular reality show, 'The private life of Bill and Sue', were reported lost at sea today along with their camera crew while filming an episode on vacation in Catalina Island. Skeptics speculate that the once popular duo whose ratings have tumbled since leaving the network actually faked their demise..."

Shelter from the sunlight
Shelter from the cold night

Just where I wanna be
Baby just you and me
Staying at home

Summertime, take a few calls, make a little love
Thank God for shelter

I'll give you shelter from the storm
And a house to keep you warm
I'll give you shelter through the night
And a chance to make this right

Do you ever still think of me
And the way that we used to be
When the world was just you and me
Hanging out in our shelter

Now it's two o'clock
Lines around the block
Waiting for the parade
When the dark of night
Or the bright sunlight
Has you runnin' for shade

Together we can run and hide
Maybe we can stay inside

Just where I wanna be
Baby just you and me
Staying at home

Summertime, take a few calls, make a little love
Thank God for shelter

I'll give you shelter from the storm
And a house to keep you warm
I'll give you shelter through the night
And a chance to make this right

Do you ever still think of me
And the way that we used to be
When the world was just you and me
Hanging out in our shelter

Do you think that you'd ever stay
Take a page out of yesterday
If we could only find a way
Hanging out in our shelter

Woke me up before dawn
Wish I could sleep some more so I could carry on
With the dream I've been meaning to make come true
And that's to get away with you

I think we all can agree
That there's no better place for us to be
We can drive on for miles till we're finally free
It will just be you and me

We've got beaches in mind
Man it's been too much time
Not a care in the world is where I want to be

Southbay surfing again
Haven't been this way in I don't know when
If I have my say we'll be back again
Where the good times never end

We've got beaches in mind
Man it's been too much time
Not a care in the world is where I want to be
With the surfers, sand and the sea

We'll find a place in the sun
Where everyone can have fun

Beaches in mind
Man it's been too much time
Not a care in the world is where I want to be
With the surfers, sand and the sea

We've got beaches in mind
Man it's been too much time
Not a care in the world is where I want to be
Beaches in mind

And it's a strange world
There's nothing to it
Strange world
I'm getting through it
Strange world
Thinking it over
It's a strange world after all

Multi-colourful lives we run
To catch a glimpse of the setting sun
I can't imagine how life would be
If you were not here with me

And it's a strange world
There's nothing to it
Strange world
I'm getting through it
Strange world
Strange world after all

Sunday morning
Skies so blue
Yo te amo
Means I love you

You can drive your car
To the county fair
Or ride your bicycle anywhere
It doesn't matter that much to me
Cause we're pretty good company

And it's a strange world
There's nothing to it
Strange world
I'm getting through it
Strange world
Thinking it over
It's a strange world after all

You've been thinking 'bout some things we used to do
Thinking 'bout when life was still in front of you
Back where you belong, our favorite song
Won't you listen

Don't you understand the words
Are singing in the wind
I wish that we could get from there to back again

The clouds are breaking, it's a beautiful day
For a wonderful, Pacific coast getaway
The sun is shining, could we just find a way
I you just call, just fall, just fall
To the ground

Through our compromise, paradise
Is just another place up on the wall
Through the common sense of it all
We had a lot to live, we gave it all
Through the consequence of the wine
Another place in time

Looked in at me; and when I could see her,
She seemed to be somebody I ought to know.
Opened the door; sat down beside me.
Then with a roar, we started to roll.
She'd been hummin', thumbin', hitchin' and wishin'
For a good day on Pacific Coast Highway.

Looked like a swan, but brown as Chuck Berry -
A summer's dawn, yeah, light as a fairy.
We got to town; she said her name was Mary.
She'd been hit, she'd been whipped,
She'd been hummin', she's been bummin' all her life.
(On the highway - On and on)
(On the highway - On and on)

Old friends have gone
They've gone their separate ways
Our dreams hold on
For those who still have more to say

Summer's gone
Gone like yesterday
The nights grow cold
It's time to go
I'm thinking maybe I'll just stay

Another summer gone

Summer's gone
It's finally sinking in
One day begins
Another ends
I live them all and back again

Summer's gone
I'm gonna sit and watch the waves
We laugh, we cry
We live then die
And dream about our yesterday
