[Verse 1]
Oh, what a sunny day
When they carried the radio home
Bringing him in off of the truck
And the dogs wouldn't leave us alone

[Chorus]
Mr. Radio, you come down here to keep us company

[Verse 2]
We listen in a room
Through the miles and miles of night
Deep in the heart of the Bible belt
In the golden radio light

[Chorus]
Mr. Radio, you come down here to keep us company

[Bridge]
And it's hard days out in the field
The crows in the high tree top
If a man's away from his home all day
His chickens might fall to the fox
Mr. Radio, what can you do about that, huh?

[Instrumental Break]
[Verse 3]
And you can take me down to a river town
Where the citizens dance 'til dawn
They dance so close it's a sin almost
The way they carry on

[Chorus]
Mr. Radio, I never dreamed you could

[Verse 4]
And it's miles at the careless touch
Of a tired hand in time
When evening fell I heard a strange sell
Dreams that were never mine

[Chorus]
Mr. Radio, you come down here to keep us company

[Outro]
You come down here to keep us company
