Nanci Griffith - Listen To The Radio lyrics

(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
