Listen To the Radio

Lyricist：Nanci Griffith

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
