You know it's a cold, cold night
And I'm sleeping all alone
I hear a sad, sad song
And it chills me to my bones
In the soft glow of the dial
I'll just lay here a while
With my radio on
On...On
My woman she done left me
I turned around and she was gone
Now I got those deep down lonesome blues
And it feels so very wrong
Tell me what else can I do
I've cried a river over you
With my radio on
On...On
I dropped a dime on a long distance line
Called my family way back home
They told me Son, we will pray for you
And all your sins will be atoned
But until that woman comes back to you
There's only one thing you can do
Leave your radio on
On...On
Until that woman comes back to you
There's only one thing you can do
Leave your radio on
On...On
Until she finds it in her heart
Best just you make a brand new start
Leave your radio on
Leave it on
Leave it on
