I am leavin' Mississippi in the evening rain
These Delta towns wear satin gowns in a high-beamed frame
Loretta Lynn guides my hand through the radio
Where would I be in times like these without the songs Loretta wrote?
When you can't find a friend, you still got the radio
When you can't find a friend, you still got the radio
The radio, oh, listen to the radio
The radio, listen to the radio
The radio
I left a handsome two-stepped good ol' 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-18 Martin guitar in the backseat on my car
Hey, I am leavin' Mississippi with the radio on
When you can't find a friend, you still got the radio
Oh, when you can't find a friend, you still got the radio
The radio, listen to the radio
The radio, listen to the radio
The radio, listen to the radio
The radio
There's a moon across the border in the Louisiana sky
I smell the Pontchartrain, I hear "Silver Wings" and away Merle Haggard flies
That good ol' boy will find a band of gold on the stereo
And then my mama's gonna call and say, "Where's she gone?"
He'll say, "Down the road with the radio on"
When you can't find a friend, you still got the radio
And when you can't find a friend, you still got the radio
The radio, listen to the radio
The radio, listen to the radio
The radio, listen to the radio
The radio
Down the road you go
