Waiting tables at your restaurant job
An old man reads the paper
In the booth where I stop
To say hello when I'm in town
To ask a friend if you're around

But I promise I'm not too far
When you're alone in your brand new car
Driving your new black car
Into the rain

Are you listening to the radio?
Are you driving down a city road?
Are you alone in your new black car?
I imagine you there, there, there

I'm sitting by the window here
The morning birds will reappear
And I feel empty
Our songs are on the radio
You call me up, but I have to go
And I'm sorry angel
I'm sorry
But I'll call you right back
I swear
You'll think I've left you there
Alone with an empty chair
But I whisper your name

Are you listening to the radio?
Are you driving down a city road?
Are you alone in your new black car?
I imagine you there

Are you listening to the radio?
Are you driving down a city road?
Are you alone in your new black car?
The wind in your hair

Are you tired of watching the rain hit the glass?
All alone but aware of the places we've passed
Together we were singing along to the songs
Are you now?
Are you now?
I'm thinking of you in your college town
Are you thinking of me as you're driving around?
Are you listening to me?
Are you listening?

Are you listening to the radio?
Are you driving down a city road?
Are you alone in your new black car?
The wind in your hair

Listening to the radio
Are you driving down a winding road?
Are you alone in your new black car?
The wind in your hair
Alone in your new black car
I imagine you there
Driving your new black car
The wind in your hair

Are you listening to the radio?
Are you listening to the radio?
Are you listening to the radio?
Are you listening to the radio?
