Capo 1st fret

Standard (EADGBE)

It’s one more midnight, and her man is still gone

The night moves too slow

She tries to remember, the heat of his touch

While listenin’ to the border radio

She calls toll-free, and requests an old song

Something they used to know

She prays to herself, that wherever he is

He’s listenin’ to the border radio

Chorus

This song comes from 1962

Dedicated to a man who’s gone

50,000 watts out of Mexico

This is the border radio, this is the border radio

Last Chorus play 'Am' here

She thinks of her son, asleep in his room

And how her man won’t see him grow

She thinks of her life, and she hopes for a change

While listenin’ to the border radio

Break / Repeat Chorus

And they play her tune, but she can’t concentrate

She wonders why he had to go

It’s one more midnight, and her man is still gone

And she’s listenin’ to the border radio

Repeat Chorus

This is the border radio
