Verse

If you're driving into town with a dark cloud above you
Dial in the number who's bound to love you
D* D* D D** D** D
Oh honey you turn me on, I'm a radio
D* D* D D** D** D
I'm a country station, I'm a little bit corny
I'm a wildwood flower waving for you 
broadcasting tower waving for you
And I'm sending you out this signal here
I hope you can pick it up loud and clear
D* D* D D** D** D
I know you don't like weak women you get bored so quick
D* D* D D* D** D
And you don't like strong women 'cause they're hip to your tricks
It's been dirty for dirty down the line
But you know I come when you whistle when you're loving and kind

Verse

But if you've got too many doubts
If there's no good reception for me then tune me out
D* D* D D** D** D
'Cause honey who needs the static, it hurts the head
D* D* D D** D** D
And you wind up cracking and the day goes dismal
From "Breakfast Barney" to the sign-off prayer
What a sorry face you get to wear
I'm going to tell you again now if you're still listening there

Verse

If you're driving into town with a dark cloud above you
Dial in the number who's bound to love you
If you're lying on the beach with the transistor going
Kick off the sandflies honey the love's still flowing
If your head says forget it but your heart's still smoking
Call me at the station the lines are open

Outro

Doo doo doo doo
uh huh huh huh
