Listen To The Radio (Album Version) - Nanci Griffith

I am leaving Mississippi in the evening rain

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

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

Radio

I left a handsome two stepped

Good ole 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-o-eighteen Martin guitar in the

Back seat of the car

Hey I'm leaving Mississippi

With the radio on

'Cause when you can't find a friend

You've still got the radio

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

It's 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 had to fly

That good ole boy will find a Band of Gold on the stereo

Hey 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'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

Now listen to the radio

The radio

Down the road

Radio

Listen to 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

The radio

Listen to the radio
