     G             C            D 
I am leaving Mississippi in the evening rain 
      G                C                    D 
These Delta towns where satin gowns and the high-beam frame 
 
    G                  C                 D 
Loretta Lynn guides my hands through the radio 
              G                C                 D 
Where would I be at times like these without the songs 
Loretta wrote? 
 
(chorus) 
                C            G                         D 
'Cause when you can't find a friend, you still got the radio 
         C            G                         D 
When you can't find a friend, you still got the radio 
        G  C               D 
The radio    listen to the radio 
        G  C               D 
The radio    listen to the radio 
             G  C               D 
It's the radio    listen to the radio 
        G  C  D 
The radio 
 
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) 
 
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 Mamma's gonna call say "where's she gone?" he'll say 
   "down the road with the radio on" 
 
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    listen to the radio 
The radio    listen to the radio 
The radio    listen to the radio 
The radio    now listen to the radio 
The radio    and its down the road you go 
The radio    listen to the radio (repeat and fade) 
 
G: 320033
C: x32033 or x32030 (It's actually C(9).)
