(david lee murphy) On a lonesome highway it was gettin' late Not another set of headlights on the interstate I was miles from nowhere my only friend around Was a country station fadin' in and out And the road went on and on But it just kept hangin' on I can live with the static lord but I can't turn it off It might not be clear and strong And sometimes it's here and gone Long as it keeps comin' back I can't turn it off I was feelin' kinda desperate as the sun came up They played "hello darlin'" and it was breakin' up The signal on that lighted dial was barely comin' through And i knew in a few more miles it'd be gone for good And the road went on and on But it just kept hangin' on I can live with the static lord but I can't turn it off It might not be clear and strong And sometimes it's here and gone Long as it keeps comin' back I can't turn it off Be a long ol lonely ride without it When i can't hear enough Oh i just turn it up And the road went on and on But it just kept hangin' on I can live with the static lord but I can't turn it off It might not be clear and strong And sometimes it's here and gone Long as it keeps comin' back I can't turn it off
