lyrics

I left out from Sylva with 12:30 on the dash
I had a Thermos full of coffee and a pocketful of cash

Radio, radio- it’s just me and you again
You are the midnight preacher; I listen to the wheels spin

(W)NCW out of Spindale kept me goin’ until three
I want to thank you for gettin’ me a little east of Hickory

Radio, radio- it’s just me and you again
You are the midnight preacher; I listen to the wheels spin

Just this side of Iredell County, I can get the BBC
There’s some station they call country, but it don’t sound country to me

Radio, radio- it’s just me and you again
You are the midnight preacher; I listen to the wheels spin

I’ll even listen to a preacher for a while if he’s good
Bringin’ Jesus down from heaven to lay his hands upon my hood

Radio, radio- it’s just me and you again
You are the midnight preacher; I listen to the wheels spin

5:30 in the morning; the sun is waiting in the wings
I put my head down on the pillow as the birds begin to sing

Radio, radio- it was me and you again
You are the midnight preacher; I listen to the wheels spin
