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
Mister Radio
Come down here to keep us company
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
Mister Radio
Come down here to keep us company
And it's hard days out in the field
The crows in the high tree top
If the man's away
From his home all day
His chickens might fall to the fox
Mister Radio
What can you do about that, uh-huh?
And you can take me down to a river town
Where the citizens dance till dawn
Dance so close it's a sin almost
The way they carry on
Mister Radio
I never dreamed you could
And it's miles at the careless touch
Of a tired hand in time
When evening fell
I heard a stranger sell
Dreams that were never mine
Mister Radio
Come down here to keep us company
Come down here to keep us company
