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 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 WDIA WDIA WDIA
