Listen To The Radio

I am leaving Mississippi

In the evening rain

Well' these Delta towns wear satin gowns

In a high beamed frame

Loretta Lynn guides my hands

Through the radio

Where would I be in times like these

Without the songs Loretta wrote?

'Cause when you can't find a friend

You've still got the radio

And when you can't find a friend

You've still got the radio

The radio' listen to the radio

The radio

I left a handsome two-stepping good old boy in Tennessee

Now' he's sittin' on the sofa' he's lookin' for his supper

Wonderin' what's become of me

I've got a double-oh-eighteen Martin guitar

In the back seat of the car

And I am leaving Mississippi

With the radio on

'Cause when you can't find a friend

You've still got the radio

And when you can't find a friend

You've still got the radio

The radio' listen to the radio

The radio

There's a moon across the border

In the Louisiana sky

I smell the Pontchartrain' I hear silver wings

And then away Merle Haggard flies

That good old boy will find a band of gold on the stereo

Hey' then my mama's gonna call

and say' "Where's she gone?"

And he'll say' "Down the road with the radio on"

When you can't find a friend

You've still got the radio

And when you can't find a friend

You've still got the radio

The radio' listen to the radio

The radio' listen to the radio

The radio' listen to the radio

The radio' listen to the radio
