I am leaving Mississippi in the evening rain These Delta towns wear satin gowns in a highbeamed frame Loretta Lynn guides my hands through the radio Where would I be in times like these without the songs Loretta wrote? Chorus Cause when you cant find a friend youve still got the radio When you cant find a friend youve still got the radio The radio, oh, listen to the radio The radio, now, listen to the radio I left a handsome twostepped good ol boy in Tennessee Now hes sittin on the sofa, lookin for his supper, wonderin whats become of me Ive got a doubleoeighteen Martin guitar in the backseat of the car Hey, I am leaving Mississippi with the radio on Chorus Theres a moon across the border in the Louisiana sky I smell the Pontchartrain, I hear Silver Wings and then away Merle Haggard flies That good ole boy will find a band of gold on the stereo Hey, then my mamas gonna call and say, Wheres she gone? Hell say, Down the road with the radio on. ChorusYou might also like
