Listen To The Radio

I am leavin' Mississippi in the evening rain

These Delta towns wear satin gowns in a high-beamed frame

Loretta Lynn guides my hand through the radio

Where would I be in times like these without the songs Loretta wrote?

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

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

The radio, oh, listen to the radio

The radio, listen to the radio

The radio

I left a handsome two-stepped good ol' boy in Tennessee

Now he's sittin' on the sofa, lookin' for his supper, wonderin' what's become of me

I've got a double-o-18 Martin guitar in the backseat on my car

Hey, I am leavin' Mississippi with the radio on

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

Oh, 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

There's a moon across the border in the Louisiana sky

I smell the Pontchartrain, I hear "Silver Wings" and away Merle Haggard flies

That good ol' boy will find a band of gold on the stereo

And then my mama's gonna call and say, "Where's she gone?"

He'll say, "Down the road with the radio on"

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

Down the road you go
