Far Away Like A Radio

[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] --- Far Away Like a Radio - Colin James
