(david lee murphy)

On a lonesome highway it was gettin late
Not another set of headlights on the interstate
I was miles from nowhere my only friend around
Was a country station fadin in and out

And the road went on and on
But it just kept hangin on
I can live with the static lord but
I cant turn it off
It might not be clear and strong
And sometimes its here and gone
Long as it keeps comin back
I cant turn it off

I was feelin kinda desperate as the sun came up
They played hello darlin and it was breakin up
The signal on that lighted dial was barely comin through
And I knew in a few more miles itd be gone for good

And the road went on and on
But it just kept hangin on
I can live with the static lord but
I cant turn it off
It might not be clear and strong
And sometimes its here and gone
Long as it keeps comin back
I cant turn it off

Be a long ol lonely ride without it
When I cant hear enough
Oh I just turn it up

And the road went on and on
But it just kept hangin on
I can live with the static lord but
I cant turn it off
It might not be clear and strong
And sometimes its here and gone
Long as it keeps comin back
I cant turn it off
