Border Radio

One more midnight, her man is still gone The nights they're movin' to slow She tries to remember the heat of his touch While listening 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 listening to the Border Radio This song comes from nineteen sixty-two Dedicated to a man who's gone Fifty thousand watts out of Mexico This is the Border Radio This is the Border Radio 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 listening to the Border Radio (repeat) They play her tune but she can't concentrate She wonders why he had to go One more night and her man is still gone She's listening to the Border Radio ()
