Mr. Radio

Lyrics

[Verse 1] Oh, what a sunny day When they carried the radio home Bringing him in off of the truck And the dogs wouldn't leave us alone [Chorus] Mr. Radio, you come down here to keep us company [Verse 2] We listen in a room Through the miles and miles of night Deep in the heart of the Bible belt In the golden radio light [Chorus] Mr. Radio, you come down here to keep us company [Bridge] And it's hard days out in the field The crows in the high tree top If a man's away from his home all day His chickens might fall to the fox Mr. Radio, what can you do about that, huh? [Instrumental Break] [Verse 3] And you can take me down to a river town Where the citizens dance 'til dawn They dance so close it's a sin almost The way they carry on [Chorus] Mr. Radio, I never dreamed you could [Verse 4] And it's miles at the careless touch Of a tired hand in time When evening fell I heard a strange sell Dreams that were never mine [Chorus] Mr. Radio, you come down here to keep us company [Outro] You come down here to keep us company
