There's lonely hearts in Arkansas
There's truckers in Des Moines
All there to keep me company
In the early morn
A world unknown to daytime
Is forever going on
The airways of the nation
Between midnight and the dawn
Late nite radio
Take it everywhere I go
Best friend when I'm lonely
Is my late nite radio
Well, I turn the dial
A little bit past one-o-one point two
In time to catch the news
And see who's shooting who
Then I hunt around for old songs
They're so good to hear again
To think of how it was
Imagine how it might have been
Late nite radio
Take it everywhere I go
Best friend when I'm lonely
Is my late nite radio
La la la, I sing along
'Cause I never know the words
La la la la la la la la la
I'd love to call a talk show
But I haven't got the nerve
La la la, oh, radio
The Lord is still my shepherd
But them preachers got to go
This time of night my interest
Lies in U.F.O's
So I turn the dial a little
Past fifty-six point three
To find myself a lullaby
To rock me off to sleep
Late nite radio
Take it everywhere I go
Best friend when I'm lonely
Is my late nite radio
Late nite radio
Take it everywhere I go
Best friend when I'm lonely
Is my late nite radio
