Radio Lover

(album: Blue Highway - 1984)

He kisses her goodbye and heads for the radio station
He hates to leave her but he's got another show to do
He knows she get's lonely, so he let's her know he's thinking 'bout her
And though millions are listening, she knows who he's talking to

When he says:
I'm coming to your life like I do every night from the heart of your radio
I play a little sad and I play a lot of glad and a few old cheating songs
Here's hoping everybody out in radio land finds a love just as true as mine
Goodnight angel, sleep tight, darling, close your pretty blue eyes
When the show is over, your radio lover will be home by your side

She's laying in bed as her deejay tells her that he loves her
It would break his heart if he knew she wasn't there alone
She knows when to cheat and when to tell her lover to leave her
She knows they'll be safe just as long as the show goes on

He planned a surprise for the night of their first anniversary
He taped his show just so he could be home with her
The radio was playing as he walked in on her and her lover
And he heard himself saying the last words they ever heard:

I'm coming to your life like I do every night from the heart of your radio
I play a little sad and I play a lot of glad and a few old cheating songs
Here's hoping everybody out in radio land finds a love just as true as mine
Goodnight angel, sleep tight, darling, close your pretty blue eyes
When the show is over, your radio lover will be home by your side
