"Listen To The Radio" lyrics

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?

And when you can't find a friend, you've still got the radio
And when you can't find a friend, you've still got the radio
Oh, the radio, oh, listen to the radio
Radio, oh, listen to the radio

I left a handsome two stepped good ole boy in Tennessee
Now, he's sitting on the sofa, looking for his supper wondering what's become of me
I've got a double-o-eighteen Martin guitar in the backseat of my car
Hey, I am leaving Mississippi with the radio on

And when you can't find a friend, you've still got the radio
And when you can't find a friend, you've still got the radio
Oh, the radio, oh, listen to the radio
Radio, oh, listen to the radio

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 "So where's she gone?" and say
"Down the road with the radio on"

And when you can't find a friend, you've still got the radio
And when you can't find a friend, you've still got the radio
Oh, the radio, oh, listen to the radio
Radio, oh, listen to the radio
Radio, oh, listen to the radio

Listen to the radio
Down the road you go
Listen to the radio
Radio, oh, you've still got the radio
