Listen To The Radio
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 [Chorus] There's a moon across the border in the Louisiana sky SongtexteI 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." Aus Songtexte Mania
