GC One more midnight, her man is still gone GCG The nights move too slow GC She tries to remember the heat of his touch CGDG While listening to the Border Radio
She calls toll-free and requests an old song Something they used to know She prays to herself that wherever he is, He's listening to the Border Radio
chorus: C "This song comes from nineteen sixty-two C Dedicated to a man who's gone C Fifty thousand watts out of Mexico GDG This is the Border Radio GDG This is the Border Radio"
She thinks of her son, asleep in his room And how her man won't see him grow She thinks of her life and she hopes for a change While listening to the Border Radio
(repeat chorus)
They play her tune but she can't concentrate She wonders why he had to go One more night and her man is still gone She's listening to the Border Radio
