Late Nite Radio Lyrics - Singles - George Scherer

I was listening to late nite radio, it must have been about 3 am 

perusin up and down the dial, station fadin out fadin in 

When I picked up a station out of nowhere 

in some other time and place 

It cracked the fragile frequency and then drifted off into space. 

I was driving through the empty Arkansas night 

I had one hand on the dial when I heard Ray Charles singing, 

"Hit the road Jack" and I lingered there for a while 

Once song was over, it began to play again and again 

Like somewhere somehow long ago it got recorded by the wind 

It was magic on the airwaves 

After the business suits go home you never know what you might find listen in to the late nite radio 

As a kid I lay awake too late to the gentle sound 'n glow. 

And dream of far away places and endless black top roads 

It was the land of imagination and place full of possibilities 

Learned to believe in magic and that love was all you need 

Yeah you go siftin' through the static like a miner searching for gold 

You never know what you might find listen in to the late night radio 

Well they're talking to the truckers hauling head hogs across the night 

Playing 6 Days On The Road Big Joe and Phantom 309 

Talking to the insomniacs about internets and global conspiracies 

They're talking Armageddon and new age philosophies 

Well it ain't like cable tv. Radio waves move like ghosts 

And once they have been broadcast seem like only God knows where they go 

And I can find you some conduit recognize the Borders of Cove 

When Christ comes back, I'll bet he'll do it on the late night radio 

There's no one listen anyway so almost anything goes 

You never know what you might find listen in to the late night radio 

You never know what you might find listen in to the late night radio
