(david lee murphy)



On a lonesome highway it was gettin' late

Not another set of headlights on the interstate

I was miles from nowhere my only friend around

Was a country station fadin' in and out



And the road went on and on

But it just kept hangin' on

I can live with the static lord but

I can't turn it off

It might not be clear and strong

And sometimes it's here and gone

Long as it keeps comin' back

I can't turn it off



I was feelin' kinda desperate as the sun came up

They played "hello darlin'" and it was breakin' up

The signal on that lighted dial was barely comin' through

And i knew in a few more miles it'd be gone for good



And the road went on and on

But it just kept hangin' on

I can live with the static lord but

I can't turn it off

It might not be clear and strong

And sometimes it's here and gone

Long as it keeps comin' back

I can't turn it off



Be a long ol lonely ride without it

When i can't hear enough

Oh i just turn it up



And the road went on and on

But it just kept hangin' on

I can live with the static lord but

I can't turn it off

It might not be clear and strong

And sometimes it's here and gone

Long as it keeps comin' back

I can't turn it off
