Brian Setzer - Ghost Radio Lyrics
Written by j. strummer and b. setzerAs I came acrose the pecos and broke west of the lineThis thunderstorm was running and it ran me out of timeSo I was racing through the rain with this rig from tennesseeWhen a voice cut through the static, bringing comfort home to meThey were singingI aint sittin in no shackGot me a ford right out the backSo come on and roll me overIf I aint there in nothing flatWith a honky-tonk attitudeIll be doing the straight line swingCmon and grab your horseshoeAnd throw it in the ringNow the levee wall was breaking, rocks were rolling from the ridgeThe announcer broke in, saying there was a bus trapped on the bridgeSo I turned my rig around, I was axle-deep in mudAnd I found those people stranded, the bridge was groaning in the floodStill my radio was singingI aint sittin in no shackGot me a ford right out the backSo come on and roll me overIf I aint there in nothing flatWith a honky-tonk attitudeIll be doing the straight line swingCmon and grab your horseshoeAnd throw it in the ringWith the grinding of my engine, I hauled those people freeWith the raging river rising, the driver came thanking meSo I told him about the message; he said, that cant be rightThe storm knocked out the radio tower late last saturday nightBut through the static we heard singingI aint sittin in no shackGot me a ford right out the backSo come on and roll me overIf I aint there in nothing flatWith a honky-tonk attitudeIll be doing the straight line swingCmon and grab your horseshoeAnd throw it in the ringThem old truckers gonna tell you down the lonely interstateOut the dead air on the waveband, the texas playboys breakYoull hear a keening voice, bob wills is with you as you driveAnd youll know you got a broadcast straight from 1935Can you hear him singingI aint sittin in no shackGot me a ford right out the backSo come on and roll me overIf I aint there in nothing flatWith a honky-tonk attitudeIll be doing the straight line swingCmon and grab your horseshoeAnd throw it in the ring
