I Don’t Listen To The Radio – Sam Riggs

I don’t listen to the radio anymore
Sick of dialing up my favorite station
Just to hear the DJ play a bunch of dime store songs
Goin’ on and on about how sweet life is
I need to hear about a heart break
So I can relate

Give me a song where the cowboy rides away
I need a shot of that lonesome steel guitar
To cover up this broken heart
And I wanna hear about the way the rain came down
Get lost in the rolling thunder
While the memories pull me under
But nobody seems to give a damn
About sad songs like they did before
So I don’t listen to the radio anymore

I used to crank it up on nights like this
Let those FM waves crash down and let it drown the hurt out
But all these cheap ass songs can’t hold a flame
It just ain’t the same

Give me a song where the cowboy rides away
I need a shot of that lonesome steel guitar
To cover up this broken heart
And I wanna hear about the way the rain came down
Get lost in the rolling thunder
While the memories pull me under
But nobody seems to give a damn
About sad songs like they did before
So I don’t listen to the radio anymore
The radio anymore

I’m picking up my phone and dialing up that request line
And I know they know my voice by heart, but I’ll beg ’em one more time

Give me a song where the cowboy rides away
I need a shot of that lonesome steel guitar
To cover up this broken heart
And I wanna hear about the way the rain came down
Get lost in the rolling thunder
While the memories pull me under
But nobody seems to give a damn
About sad songs like they did before
So I don’t listen to the radio anymore
I don’t listen to the radio anymore
I don’t listen to the radio
