I am leaving Mississippi in the evening rain

Well, these Delta towns wear satin gowns on 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?

I left a handsome, two-stepping, good ole boy in Tennessee
G C D
Now, he's sitting on the sofa, he's looking for his supper, wondering what's become of me
G C D
I've got a double-0-eighteen Martin guitar in the back seat of the car
G C D
And I am leaving Mississippi with the radio on

G C D
There's a moon across the border in the Louisiana sky
G C D
I smell the Pontchartrain, I hear silver wings and then, away Merle Haggard flies
G C D
That good ole boy will find a band of gold on the stereo
G C
Hey, then my mama's gonna call and say, "Where's she gone?"
D
He'll say, "Down the road with the radio on."
CHORUS:

When you can't find a friend, you've still got the radio
