John Denver - Late Nite Radio Lyrics






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. My 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. My 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 oh oh, radio.

The Lord is still my shepherd but these preachers got to go.
This time of night my interest lies in UFO'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. My best friend when I'm lonely is my late nite radio.
Late nite radio, take it everywhere I go. My best friend when I'm lonely is my late nite radio.

    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 airwaves of a nation between midnight and the dawn

    Late night radio
    Take it everywhere I go
    My best friend when I’m lonely
    Is the late night radio

    Well I turned the dial a little bit past 101.2
    Time to catch the news and see who’s shootin’ who
    Then I hung around for old songs, they’re so good to hear again
    To think of how it was, imagine how it might have been

    Late night radio
    Take it everywhere I go
    My best friend when I’m lonely
    Is the late night radio

    La la la I sing along because I never know the words
    La la la, la la la la la la
    I’d love to call the talk show, but I haven’t got the nerve
    La la la, oh oh, radio

    The lord is still my shepherd, but them preachers gotta go
    This time of night my interest lies in UFOs
    So I turn the dial a little past 15 6.3
    To find myself a lullaby and rock me off to sleep

    Late night radio
    Take it everywhere I go
    My best friend when I’m lonely is the late night radio

    Late night radio
    Take it everywhere I go
    My best friend when I’m lonely is the late night radio
