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?
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
Radio
Oh oh
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
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
It's Radio
Listen to the radio
Radio
Oh oh oh

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"
Yeah

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
Radio
Listen to the radio
Radio
Now
Listen to the radio
Radio
Down the road with go

Radio
Listen to the radio
Radio
Listen to the radio
