I am leaving Mississippi in the evening rain
These Delta towns wear satin gown in a high speed frame
Loretta Lynn guides my hand through the radio
Where would I be in times like these without the songs Loretta wrote

(chorus)
And if you can't find a friend you still got the radio
And if you can't find a friend you still got the radio
The radio, oh, listen to the radio
The radio, oh, listen to the radio
The radio, oh, oh

I left a handsome two-step good ole' boy in Tennessee
Now he's sittin' on the sofa, he's looking for his supper
Wonderin' what's become of me
I got a double-o-eighteen Martin guitar in the back seat of the car
Hey I am leaving Mississippi with the radio on

(chorus)

There's a moon accross the border of the Louisiana sky
I smell the Pontchartrain, I hear the silver wings
And then away Merle Haggard flies
That good ol' boy will find a band of gold on the stereo
Hey then my mama's gonna call and say where's she gone
He'll say down the road with the radio on

The radio, oh, listen to the radio
The radio, oh, listen to the radio
The radio, oh then, down the road you'll go
