[Verse 1]
GOne more midnight, her Cman is still gone
GThe nights move too Cslow
GShe tries to remember the Cheat of his touch
While Glistening to the DBorder GRadio
[Verse 2]
GShe calls toll-free and reCquests an old song
GSomething they used to Cknow
GShe prays to herself that wherCever he is,
He's Glistening to the DBorder GRadio
[Chorus]
"CThis song comes from nineteen sixty-two
CDedicated to a man who's gone
CFifty thousand watts out of Mexico
GThis is the DBorder RadiGo
GThis is the DBorder RadiGo"
[Verse 3]
GShe thinks of her son, aCsleep in his room
GAnd how her man won't Csee him grow
GAnd thinks of her life and she hCopes for a change
While Glistening to the DBorder RadiGo
[Chorus]
"CThis song comes from nineteen sixty-two
CDedicated to a man who's gone
CFifty thousand watts out of Mexico
GThis is the DBorder RadiGo
GThis is the DBorder RadiGo"
[Verse 4]
GThey play her tune but she Ccan't concentrate
GShe wonders why he Chad to go
GOne more midnight and her Cman is still gone
She's Glistening to the DBorder RadiGo
[Chorus]
"CThis song comes from nineteen sixty-two
CDedicated to a man who's gone
CFifty thousand watts out of Mexico
GThis is the DBorder RadiGo
GThis is the DBorder RadiGo"
[Outro]
GThis is the DBorder RadiGo
