That's Why God Made The Radio Lyrics

Tuning in the latest star
From the dashboard of my car
Cruisin' at 7
Push button heaven
Capturing memories from afar
In my car

That's why God made the radio
That's why God made
So tune right in everywhere you go
He raised his hand
Gave us rock n roll
The soundtrack of falling in love
Falling in love
That's why God made the radio

From the music in the air
Find a song to take us there
It's paradise when I
Lift up my antennae
Receiving your signal like a prayer
Like a prayer

Making this night a celebration
Celebration
Spreading the love and sunshine to a whole new generation
A whole new generation

That's why God made
That's why God made
That's why God made the radio
For falling in love
That's why God made the radio
For nights like this

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.

This song proves that after 50 year, the beach boys are still rocking and rolling. It gives us beautiful harmonies and adds a modern twist to it as well as the classic rhythm and instruments. It is about the band still remembering the old times when hearing their songs on the radio, and it shows that even though the members are fading, the legend of the beach boys will live on for generations to come
