She took a double-barrel twelve gauge buckshot to her alarm clock
                                               
She'll kill that George Strait "Baby Blue" with one shot
          
She was a cussin' and a screamin' off the wrong side of the bed
    
And madder than hell with him in her head
                                                  
The whole trailer park knew the radio had done it again

    
Ah, damn that radio for playin' their song

Stirring up a memory she thought was gone
    
God knows that old DJ don't know what he's done
                                         ()
Ah, damn that radio for playin' their song

                                                         
So she fired up the Chevy and she tore it up and down the rural route
                                           
Whitewalls ripping on two wheels 'round the courthouse
        
She was mad at George and WKXY
           
But she was lookin' for the sucker who had left her to cry
                                           
Everybody in town was runnin' for a place to hide

[chorus]

    

                                              
Down at the station, Lord, the phones ring all day long
                                                   
The whole town calling begging, "please don't play that song!"

                                                    
Now the preacher was preachin' in the spirit of jubilation
                                         
To a sunny day happy faced wedding congregation
             
He read "til death do us part" straight outta the word
       
Then a Chevy flew by and just flipped him the bird
                                                          
He said "Father forgive her!" as the bride ran shakin' her fist

[chorus]


Stirrin' up a memory she thought was gone
    
God knows that old DJ don't know what he's done
    
Ah, damn that radio

Damn that radio
                             
Damn that radio for playin' their song


Or if you want to play the little riff at the end:

e|--------0-|
B|--------0-|
G|-4-2-0--1-|
D|--------2-|
A|-2-0----2-|
E|-----3--0-|

Top or bottom, either works.
