At the wrong end of the highway
When the long night has no end
When there's no one there beside me
'Til I hold you once again

Thank God for the radio when I'm on the road
When I'm far from home and feelin' blue
Thank God for the radio playin' all night long
Playin' all the songs that mean so much to me and you

There's a song that we first danced to
There's a song that played the night we met
There's a song we fell in love to
That's a song I'll never forget

Thank God for the radio when I'm on the road
When I'm far from home and feelin' blue
Thank God for the radio playin' all night long
Playin' all the songs that mean so much to me and you

Thank God for the radio when I'm on the road
When I'm far from home and feelin' blue
Thank God for the radio playin' all night long
Playin' all the songs that mean so much to me and you

Playin' all the songs that mean so much
Till I feel your tender touch
Log on to kill this message
All the songs that mean so much to me and you
