Sam Riggs - I Don't Listen to the Radio
текст песни

I don’t listen to the radio anymore

Sick of dialing up my favorite station just to hear the DJ play a bunch of dime store songs goin on and on about how sweet life is.

I need to hear about a heart break.

So I can relate.


Give me a song where the cowboy rides away

I need a shot of that lonesome steel guitar to cover up this broken heart

And I Wanna hear about the way the rain came down

Get lost in the rolling thunder

While the memories pulls me under

But nobody seems to give a damn about sad songs the way they did before

So I don’t listen to the radio anymore


I used to crank it up on nights like this

Let those FM waves crash down and let it drown the hurt out

But all these cheap ass songs can’t hold a flame

It just ain’t the same


Give me a song where the cowboy rides away

I need a shot of that lonesome steel guitar to cover up this broken heart

And I Wanna hear about the way the rain came down

Get lost in the rolling thunder

While the memories pulls me under

But nobody seems to give a damn about sad songs the way they did before

So I don’t listen to the radio anymore


I’m picking up my phone and dialing up that request line

And I know they know my voice by heart, but I’ll beg em one more time.


Give me a song where the cowboy rides away

I need a shot of that lonesome steel guitar to cover up this broken heart

And I Wanna hear about the way the rain came down

Get lost in the rolling thunder

While the memories pulls me under

But nobody seems to give a damn about sad songs the way they did before

So I don’t listen to the radio anymore
