[Verse 1]
I got something on my mind, I'm just a little bit depressed
I try to blame it on the rain but it was in my heart, I guess
I'm feeling like a stranger when I drove through my hometown
Past the sign that reads 'The Boyhood Home
Of a Place That's Long Gone Now'
I realized it is nothing what it used to be
Until I heard a song that takes me to my memories

[Chorus]
Radio saved my life tonight
Old song that that DJ played made me feel alright
I made it home by my dashboard light
The radio saved my life tonight

[Verse 2]
Just this side of morning, just this side of dawn
I walked so soft into my bedroom, saw my wife sleeping alone
She whispered, "Baby, are you okay, have you been gone for long?"
I just kicked off my jeans and held her close, I held her all night long
I tried to sleep but in my mind I heard that song
Like a friend in need, the melody keeps me hanging on

[Chorus]

[Chorus]
The radio saved my life tonight
The sad song that the DJ played made me feel alright
As I drove down that lonesome highway just me and my dashboard light
The radio saved my life tonight
[Chorus]

[Outro]
The radio saved my life tonight
The radio saved my life tonight
The radio saved my life tonight
The radio saved my life tonight
The radio saved my life tonight
