Why do radio stations play a version of I Fooled Around and Fell in Love by Elvin Bishop that does not include the second verse about writing the girl's name in a book?

Radio stations edit almost all longer songs to shorten them. The longer album version of Fooled Around and Fell in Love is 4 minutes and 35 seconds while the shorter single version is 2 minutes and 59 seconds. Stations try to keep songs within 3 to 4 minutes in length which allows them to play more songs.
