Mike and the Moonpies
Hour on the Hour
[Verse 1]
It's another hit about a heartache
Somebody done somebody wrong
All that remains of a memory
Now lives forever in a song
They took a million broken pieces
To fill an empty page with lines
They find a few to string together
And find a way to make 'em rhyme
[Chorus]
And every hour on the hour
It plays on my radio
And one thing leads to another
Then another and another one
[Verse 2]
I don't mind a steady backbeat
Or a crying steel guitar
But you can keep your shot of whiskey
And who wants another broken heart?
Thesе days I drive around in silence
Scarеd to death to touch the dial
For fear of bringing back a memory
Damn near every country mile
[Chorus]
But every hour on the hour
It plays on my radio
And one thing leads to another
Then another and another one
[Verse 3]
And I know everybody's been there
But I don't need to hear the tale
I've got that devil on my shoulder
The same as anybody else
Some days I need some one to talk to
But I don't need no troubadour
Singin' me a sad reminder
Of someone walkin' out the door
[Chorus]
Every hour on the hour
It plays on my radio
And one thing leads to another
Then another and another and another and another one
