Verse 1
Windows down on a July night drive,
Dust on the road and we feel alive,
FM crackles, but the song cuts through,
Every chord sounds like me and you.
Faded denim, your hand in mine,
Streetlights dancing in perfect time,
We didn’t need nowhere to go,
Just chasing that golden glow.
⸻
Pre-Chorus
And the world kept spinning slow,
Like a vinyl turning low…
⸻
Chorus
It’s a sunset on the radio,
Where the good times never let you go,
Sing it loud, let the whole world know,
We were young in the afterglow.
Turn it up, let the speakers roll,
Feel the fire down in your soul,
Every note like a memory we hold,
In a sunset on the radio.
⸻
Verse 2
Cheap guitars and a back porch band,
Barefoot dancing in the sand,
Laughing like we’d never grow old,
Living stories never told.
Bonfire sparks in your wild eyes,
Midnight dreams under open skies,
Time stood still in that summer heat,
With your heartbeat next to me.
⸻
Pre-Chorus
And the night just let us be,
Like a timeless melody…
⸻
Chorus
It’s a sunset on the radio,
Where the good times never let you go,
Sing it loud, let the whole world know,
We were young in the afterglow.
Turn it up, let the speakers roll,
Feel the fire down in your soul,
Every note like a memory we hold,
In a sunset on the radio.
⸻
Guitar Solo
(Long, bluesy, soaring — bends that cry, then lift into a triumphant melodic run)
⸻
Bridge
Maybe someday we’ll look back and say,
Those were the nights that never fade away,
Through the static, through the years gone by,
That song still plays when I close my eyes…
⸻
Breakdown (soft)
Just a whisper in the dark…
Just a spark…
⸻
Final Chorus (big, layered harmonies)
It’s a sunset on the radio,
Where the good times never let you go,
Sing it loud, let the whole world know,
We were young in the afterglow.
Turn it up, let the speakers roll,
Feel the fire down in your soul,
Every note like a story retold,
In a sunset on the radio…
⸻
Outro
Yeah, the signal fades but the feeling stays,
Like a song that never goes away…
Sunset on the radio…
