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
