Secret Message

Back seat of my father's car Watching the world go by 13-years-old on my way to school Staring up at the sky But a record come on the radio Filled with the promise of the open road The DJ said, 'Here's one for you all The Jayhawks, Hollywood Town Hall' When I heard that song for the first time I found it written between the lines Was a secret message - meant for me alone Caught between the grooves, calling me home When the school bell rang at the end of the day I headed straight into town Running down the street to the record store Searching for that sound Digging for gold from across the sea Looking for titles that spoke to me Highway and freedom they sounded alright 'Life in the Fast Lane,' 'Hollywood Nights' I listened to those songs so many times I found it written between the lines Was a secret message - meant for me alone Caught between the grooves, calling me home Yeah a secret message - meant for me alone Caught between the grooves, calling me home Was I separated at birth From the other side of the earth? Chasing a dream in my soul Looking for the heart of Rock and Roll Searching for the missing part To make me whole Now I'm in the front seat of my own car Watching the world go by Got my 9-year-old son in the back Staring up at the sky When an old song comes on the radio Brings back memories of long ago The band's on fire - they sound so good Singing, 'Say Goodbye to Hollywood' Was a secret message - meant for me alone Caught between the grooves, calling me home Was a secret message - meant for me alone Caught between the grooves, calling me home Caught between the grooves, calling me home
