Loretta Lynn guides my hands through the radio
              G                C                 D
Where would I be at times like these without the songs Loretta wrote?

When you can't find a friend, you still got the radio

Now he's sittin' on the sofa he's lookin' for his supper wond'rin' what's become of me
        G     C                    D
I got a 00-18 Martin guitar in the back seat of the car
         G             C              D
Hey I am leaving Mississippi with the radio on

            G                  C                      D 
I smell the Ponchatrain I hear Silver Wings and then away Merle Haggard flies
