Nanci Griffith - Listen To The Radio lyrics

rate me

(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?

Chorus

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

Radio listen to the radio

Radio listen to the radio

I left a handsome two stepped good ole boy in Tennessee

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

I've got a double-o-eighteen Martin guitar in the backseat of the car

Hey, I am leaving Mississippi with the radio on

Chorus

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

I smell the Pontchartrain,I hear Silver Wings then, away Merle Haggard

flies

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."

Chorus
