Sweet youth misspent, never knew the history
The road remained unbent, never knew the mystery
So I tangled up in highway, became Houdini on the blacktop
When I was deafened by the white noise, I just let the needle drop
Early-sixteen wonder kid, my heart was big but my mind was stuck
A lover’s touch is what it took beneath the stars in her father’s truck
It’ll be alright if you meet me tonight
I send this out to where you are
I’ll be down on the rocks with a boom-box
Then I’ll be at the honor bar
So just meet me at the honor bar
Lights and sirens down the shore where the bricks and the river meet
Circus skies play tricks on eyes but the mist makes kisses sweet
I’m a sailor lost at sea, my radio means so much to me
I hope I don’t lose the frequency, my radio means so much to me
It’ll be alright if you meet me tonight
I send this out to where you are
I’ll be stuck on the shoal of this rock n roll
Then I’ll be at the honor bar
So just meet me at the honor bar
