Golden Age Of Radio ( A Country Song ) Lyrics - Josh Ritter

Picture they took of you in your cowboy hat 

Makes you look like you are one of the boys 

Out on a Saturday night, meanwhile on the outskirts of the dance hall 

I'm a joke that you'd probably enjoy 

On the outside of Memphis all the building look big 

And the white picket fences all dare to charge around the lawn 

And hold their heads up high when my headlights find them out 

They'll be the first to put their hands in the air with my radio on 

Singing a country song soft and low

Oh when I've got a worried mind I know 

I hear the ghost of Patsy Cline 

On the Grand Old Opry Show 

Living on the edge of the city limit line 

This is where the boundary finally ends 

And I swear that we're the last living souls in a populated ghost town 

All the billboards are our best friends 

Which way did our last chance go and can we 

Get out if we go right now? 

It seems that with the malls and the mega-church stadiums 

We would get out if we knew just how with the radio on 

Photos 

Standing in line to get my self-help book signed off 

On by the reverend who shouts to the converted 

Have mercy on this boy he did it all by the book 

But still kind of has his doubts 

Oh you look pretty good in that jonquil dress 

But your smile is a wooden nickel's pride 

and I know that it ain't worth much but I feels good to touch 

And I think that I could dance if I tried with your radio on 

Oh when I've got a worried mind I know 

I hear the ghost of Patsy Cline 

On the Grand Old Opry Show
