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 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 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 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  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 tonight1
