Listen to the Radio Lyrics

Listen to the Radio
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' on the sofa, 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.

Repeat Chorus

There's a moon across the sky 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."

Repeat Chorus
