BORDER RADIO
Dave Alvin - C# (Capo 1)
It’s one more midnight, and her man is still gone
The night moves too slow
She tries to remember, the heat of his touch
While listenin’ to the border radio
She calls toll-free, and requests an old song
Something they used to know
She prays to herself, that wherever he is
He’s listenin’ to the border radio
Chorus
This song comes from 1962
Dedicated to a man who’s gone
50,000 watts out of Mexico
This is the border radio, this is the border radio
Last Chorus play 'Am' here
She thinks of her son, asleep in his room
And how her man won’t see him grow
She thinks of her life, and she hopes for a change
While listenin’ to the border radio
Break / Repeat Chorus
And they play her tune, but she can’t concentrate
She wonders why he had to go
It’s one more midnight, and her man is still gone
And she’s listenin’ to the border radio
Repeat Chorus
This is the border radio
