Lonely at the Bottom

I am leaving Mississippi in the evening rain

Well those Delta towns wear satin gowns

In a high beamed frame

Loretta Lynn guides my hands through the radio

Where would I be in times like these

Without the songs Loretta wrote?

'Cause when you can't find a friend

You've still got the radio

And when you can't find a friend

You've still got the radio

The radio...listen to the radio

The radio

I left a handsome two-stepping good ole boy in Tennessee

Now, he's sittin' on the sofa, he's lookin' for his supper,

Wonderin' what's become of me

I've got a double-0-eighteen Martin guitar in the back seat of the car

And, I am leaving Mississippi...

With the radio on

'Cause when you can't find a friend

You've still got the radio

And when you can't find a friend

You've still got the radio

The radio...listen to the radio

The radio

There's a moon across the border in the Louisiana sky

I smell the pontchartrain, I hear silver wings

And then, away Merle Haggard flies

That good ole boy will find a band of gold

On the stereo

Hey, then my mama's gonna call and say,
