Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Tangled in the sheets
Of a motel bed
Samantha paints her toenails
Cherry red
And she asks me
If she can paint mine too
And I say
"Samantha, anything for you"
[Verse 2]
And through the tinny speakers
Of an ancient radio
The All Night Love Line
Begins another show
And the callers call in
But the thing that's so strange
It's all the same story
Just the voices that change
[Verse 3]
On Beau's All Night Radio Love Line
The show for hearts in despair
If you got somethin' to say
To a love that got away
Beau wants to put you on the air
[Verse 4]
The shadows from the headlights
Of a passing car
Turn Samantha's smile
Into film noir
And she says, "Don't get me wrong,
About you and me
I just can't figure out
What we're supposed to be"
[Verse 5]
Maybe I love you
I don't know
Maybe I'm afraid
Of where you want to go
Maybe I'm scared
I'll lose my power to amuse
And I'll wake up alone
In a bed full of blues
[Verse 6]
Just listenin' to
Beau's All Night Radio Love Line
The show for hearts in despair
If you got somethin' to say
To a love that got away
Beau wants to put you on the air
[Verse 7]
And Beau's really thinkin'
This job hardly pays
But he can't figure out
How to ask for a raise
Meanwhile, back on the Love Line
He says, "You're on the air
Caller number nine"
[Verse 8]
Samantha laughs
At the two of us here
And says, "I got some miles on me
And you're such a kid, dear
To you I'm just a ride
In an old Cadillac
But I keep on prayin'
That you keep comin' back"
[Verse 9]
Is that Samantha cryin'?
Or just somebody on
Beau's All Night Radio Love Line
The show for hearts in despair
If you got somethin' to say
To a love that got away
Beau wants to put you on the air
[Verse 10]
If you got somethin' to say
To a love that got away
Beau wants to put you on the air
