Late Night Radio Lyrics


Oh, Mary Jane
She step on a train
Head for the city lights
Yearning inside
To swim with the tide
And taste it, alrightBag on her shoulder
Breathing the cold
There by the metal tracks
She saw it all shine
And swore in her mind
She'd never go backAnd she don't mind the late night
Late night radio
She don't mind the late night radio
She don't mind the late night
Late night radio, na naCouldn't have dreamed
The things that she seen
There on the avenue
She stared right into a million eyes

That looked her right throughTelling Red Joe
The places she'd go
And wiping the table clean
She got no idea, the demon of fear
Or what a broken heart meanAnd she don't mind the late night
Late night radio
She don't mind the late night radio
She don't mind the late night
Late night radioNa na na na na not at all
Na na na na na not at all
Na na na na na not at all
Na na na na na not at allNa na na na na not at all
Na na na na na not at all
Na naNew York was dark
Dirty and stark
Burning with yellow wings
Everyday come
With fever and hum
Who knows what it bringsWalking a wall
Without a thought
To fall and hit the ground
Sweet Mary Jane
With eyes like the rain
Alive to the soundShe don't mind the late night
Late night radio
She don't mind the late night radio
She don't mind the late night
Late night radioShe don't mind the late night
Late night radio
She don't mind the late night radio
She don't mind the late night
Late night radio, na na na na

The Cowboy Junkies is a Canadian alt-country band formed by three siblings from the Timmins entertainment family (Margo Timmins, vocals; Michael Timmins, songwriter & guitars; Peter Timmins, drums) plus Alan Anton on bass. The group formed in Toronto in 1986. The band's name was simply a random choice as they approached their first ever gig, but it has come to perfectly represent their sound. (Some sources may credit Townes Van Zandt's song "Cowboy Junkies Lament" as the source of the band's name, but that song was written especially for Cowboy Junkies several years after they coined the name.)

The Trinity Session is perhaps their best known record, recorded live in a single day on a single microphone in a church in Toronto. This album also included a unique cover version of Lou Reed's "Sweet Jane". Reed reportedly liked the Junkies' version of the song better than his own, and began performing their version in concert.

None of the band's subsequent albums have been hits outside of Canada, although the band has maintained a dedicated following and have continued to have chart hits in their native country. Following their 1998 album Miles from Our Home, Cowboy Junkies were dropped from their major label contract. They have continued to release albums on their own independent label, Latent Records.
