"LISTEN TO THE RADIO," by Nanci Griffith, (c) 1989 MCA Records. From the Nanci Griffith album "Storms."
GCD I am leaving Mississippi in the evening rain GCD These Delta towns where satin gowns and the high-beam frame
GCD Loretta Lynn guides my hands through the radio GCD Where would I be at times like these without the songs Loretta wrote?
(chorus) CGD 'Cause when you can't find a friend, you still got the radio CGD When you can't find a friend, you still got the radio GCD The radio listen to the radio GCD The radio listen to the radio GCD It's the radio listen to the radio GCD The radio
I left a handsome two-steppin' good ole' boy in Tennessee Now he's sittin' on the sofa he's lookin' for his supper wond'rin' what's become of me I got a 00-18 Martin guitar in the back seat of the car Hey I am leaving Mississippi with the radio on
(chorus)
There's a moon across the border in the Louisiana sky I smell the Ponchatrain 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 Mamma's gonna call say "where's she gone?" he'll say "down the road with the radio on"
And when you can't find a friend, you still got the radio And when you can't find a friend, you still got the radio The radio listen to the radio The radio listen to the radio The radio listen to the radio The radio now listen to the radio The radio and its down the road you go The radio listen to the radio (repeat and fade)
