G                                  C

One more midnight, her man is still gone

       G         C            G

The nights move too slow

        G                              C

She tries to remember the heat of his touch

C      G                      D            G

While listening 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 listening to the Border Radio

chorus:

C

"This song comes from nineteen sixty-two

C

Dedicated to a man who's gone

C

Fifty thousand watts out of Mexico

G               D            G

This is the Border Radio

G                D            G

This is the Border Radio"

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 listening to the Border Radio

(repeat chorus)

They play her tune but she can't concentrate

She wonders why he had to go

One more night and her man is still gone

She's listening to the Border Radio

(chorus)
