Dad, won’t you put that record on?
We’ve got some time before dinner’s done
Play me some of those good old songs
Ones from back when you were young
Drop that needle and turn it up
Hear that vinyl hiss and pop
Sticks in hand, you sit down at the drums
We’ll take turns and play along
Worn album cover in my hands
I read liner notes about the tracks
Don’t think I’ve heard this one before,
but I sure am liking it so far
And I wonder while the music plays,
what memories for you it’s made
After all those years and all this way,
and that old stereo still sounds great
These few minutes, me and you
Speakers filling up this little room
All this music that you’ve known and loved,
this is how you pass it on
And I know someday when you’re gone
I’ll keep these records and your drums
And when I need some one on one
I’ll put one on and play along
