Lyrics I Don't Listen to the Radio - Sam Riggs

(Go)

I don't listen to the radio anymore
I'm sick of dialing up my favorite station
Just to hear the DJ play a bunch of dime store songs
Goin' on and on 'bout how sweet life is
Wanna hear about a heartbreak
So I can relate

Gimme the 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
And 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
Let it drown the hurt out
But all these cheap ass songs can't hold a flame
And it just ain't the same

Gimme the 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
And 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, dialing up that request line
I know they know my voice by heart, but I'll beg 'em one more time

Gimme the 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
And 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
