Verse
I am leaving Mississippi in the evening rain
These Delta towns wear satin gowns and the high-beam frame
Loretta Lynn guides my hands through the radio
Where would I be at times like these without the songs Loretta wrote?
Chorus
'Cause 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 - o, listen to the radio
The radio - o, listen to the radio
The radio - o
Verse
I left a handsome two-steppin' good ole' boy in Tennessee
Now he's sittin' on the sofa he's lookin' for his supper wond'rin' what's become of me
I got a 00-18 Martin guitar in the back seat of the car
Hey I am leaving Mississippi with the radio on
Chorus
'Cause 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 - o, listen to the radio
The radio - o, listen to the radio
It's the radio - o, listen to the radio
The radio - o

Verse
There's a moon across the border in the Louisiana sky
I smell the Ponchatrain I hear Silver Wings and then away Merle Haggard flies
That good old boy will find a band of gold on the stereo
Hey then my mama's gonna call say where's she gone, he'll say down the road with the radio on
Chorus
And 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 - o, listen to the radio
The radio - o, listen to the radio
The radio - o, listen to the radio
The radio - o, no listen to the radio
The radio - o, and it's down the road you go
Outro
The radio - o, listen to the radio
The radio - o, listen to the radio (Repeat and Fade)
