Far Away Like A Radio Lyrics - Colin James

[Chorus] 

All broke down, comin' in low 

Far away like a radio 

Red lights flash, static and snow 

Far away like a radio 

I was ridin' shotgun with the driver 

The lovers and the rounders 

Come along with me to L.A. 

Me and my bride 

On a Greyhound back 

She took a piece outta me 

That I'll never get back 

[Chorus] 

Ghost in a shot glass 

And lonely all around 

Can't help but catch a buzz 

When you come into this town 

Darkness in a box 

Man, you better send a scout 

There's doors to keep you in 

But none to let you out 

[Chorus] 

Head on my shoulder 

And mouth just catchin' flies 

Stranger outta stories 

Has just talked himself dry 

Half of him will make it to LA 

By tomorrow 

The rest of him will have to make 

A beg, steal or borrow 

One end of town 

Laughin' at the other 

They got ragin' home records 

Makin' welfare mothers 

Street hosed down 

When the dawn breaks slow 

Shinin' like a mirror 

So all the shadows won't show 

[Chorus] 

All the happy endin's 

That I've heard about 

Stories left unwritten 

We'll have to figure it out 

All broke down, comin' in low 

Far away like a radio 

Red lights flash, static and snow 

Far away like a radio 

[Chorus]
