Biografía:
Dave Alvin (born November 11, 1955, in Downey, California), is an American guitarist, singer and songwriter. He has been one of the leading proponents of 'roots' or 'American' music, bringing together elements of rock-and-roll, blues, rural and tejano music.
Alvin and his older brother Phil Alvin grew up loving Americana, country and blues. In 1979 they formed The Blasters with friends Bill Bateman and John Bazz.
Shortly after leaving the Blasters, Alvin joined X as lead guitarist after the departure of Billy Zoom.

BORDER RADIO
Dave Alvin - C# (Capo 1)

It’s one more midnight, and her man is still gone

The night moves too slow

She tries to remember, the heat of his touch
F G C F C F
While listenin’ 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 listenin’ to the border radio
Chorus
F
This song comes from 1962
Am
Dedicated to a man who’s gone
F C

G C G C
This is the border radio, this is the border radio
Last Chorus play 'Am' here
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 listenin’ to the border radio
Break / Repeat Chorus
And they play her tune, but she can’t concentrate
She wonders why he had to go
It’s one more midnight, and her man is still gone
And she’s listenin’ to the border radio
Repeat Chorus
