Lyrics

"Hi Fi Rider"
(Lyrics M. Novak, C. Webster Music - M. Novak)

50 years ago A transistor radio was our now
Music riding the atmosphere without knowing how
Sundown brought signal skipping from cities afar
Expanding your world changing who you are

The record player let us choose what we could hear
Giving your allowance to the record store cashier
Stereo - a whole new world - now there’s left and right
A guitar over here an organ over there is a sonic delight

CHORUS:

Hi-Fi Rider
I’m a Hi Fi Rider gotta have the best sound
Hi-Fi Rider
Even as the neighbors wore an angry frown
Hi-Fi Rider
I’m a Hi Fi rider with an altered state of mind
Hi-Fi Rider
Helped along with a hit if you’re so inclined

Powerful gear brought the bands to your living room
Hearing cymbals, all the voices and that big bass boom
Amplifiers glowing and getting hot 200 Watts a side
Hooked up to some Klipsch loudspeakers its a Hi Fi Ride

With friends by your side to share the ride
Transported by new music as your guide
The rush of emotions that music brings
Let’s the listeners mind spread it’s wings

I loved the hours that I spent in a record store surrounded by art and sound
Lured by cover art fantasy many gems were often found
Rushing home to listen to what the artists had to say
Their poetry and music opened our mind to a new way

CHORUS:

I’m a Hi Fi Rider
Lets the listener’s mind spread it’s wings
