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)
