There's lonely hearts in Arkansas
There's truckers in Des Moines
All there to keep me company
In the early mornA world unknown to daytime
Is forever going on
The airways of the nation
Between midnight and the dawnLate nite radio
Take it everywhere I go
Best friend when I'm lonely
Is my late nite radioWell, I turn the dial
A little bit past one-o-one point two
In time to catch the news
And see who's shooting whoThen I hunt around for old songs
They're so good to hear again
To think of how it was
Imagine how it might have beenLate nite radio
Take it everywhere I go
Best friend when I'm lonely
Is my late nite radioLa 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, radioThe Lord is still my shepherd
But them preachers got to go
This time of night my interest
Lies in U.F.O'sSo I turn the dial a little
Past fifty-six point three
To find myself a lullaby
To rock me off to sleepLate nite radio
Take it everywhere I go
Best friend when I'm lonely
Is my late nite radioLate nite radio
Take it everywhere I go
Best friend when I'm lonely
Is my late nite radio
