Red Cassette

From the golden days of long ago
The ones you’ll never forget
In a shoebox filled with memories
I found a red cassette
And my friends thought it was strange that I was stolen away
Out of the sunshine
Making one-man radio shows long into the night
Whoa
Red cassette, take me back, take me back to when it all began
Red cassette, take me back, take me back to when it all began
I asked my teacher at school what she wanted to be
She said, «It's too late for that»
I could see it in her eyes that dreams are just a fantasy
They only lead to regret
So I stuck each teenage kids closed another first kiss
Somewhere under the moonlight
I put my headphones on and let the good times roll tonight
Whoa
Red cassette, take me back, take me back to when it all began
Red cassette, take me back, take me back to when it all began
Red cassette, take me back, take me back to when it all began
Red cassette, take me back, take me back to when it all began
Turning the reels back to yesterday
When the promise of youth was an empty page
Now I beat my band and I’m busy living for tomorrow
Whoa
Red cassette, take me back, take me back to when it all began
Red cassette, take me back, take me back to when it all began
Red cassette, take me back, take me back to when it all began
Red cassette, take me back, take me back to when it all began
The time won’t stop slipping away
Gotta live in the moment every day
Gotta keep on moving but I can’t forget
Now I put it all down on a little cheap red cassette
Red cassette, take me back, take me back to when it all began
Red cassette, take me back, take me back to when it all began
To when it all began, to when it all began, to when it all began
To when it all began, to when it all began, to when it all began
