Lyrics

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
