Oh, my friends don't understand me
And my wife begins to fear
That I've lost some sense of balance
And I've lost the will to live
And the radio
AM radio
Oh, the radio will set you free
And I drive into the wilderness
And I drive to fill a sense of purpose
And I drive to find a perfect world
Where I hope to build a house
And the radio
AM radio
Oh the radio will set you free
And the radio
AM radio
Oh, the radio will set you free
And I drive because I do what I want
And I drive 'cause I was born to drive
And I drive 'cause every ghost town rising in the dust
Feels like a home to me
And the radio
AM radio
Oh, the radio will set you free
And I drive to close an open wound
And I drive just to be alone
And I drive to hear Tom Dooley swearing to his faith
That must be nearly gone
And the radio
AM radio
Oh, the radio will set you free
And I drive to find a river's edge
And I drive to hear a woman crying
And I drive because I want to -
I agree to pay the price
And the radio
AM radio
Oh, the radio will set you free
And the radio
AM radio
Oh, the radio will set you free
And I drive to feed the ring of fire
And I drive to be a one who knows
And I drive to hear a worried man recount the things he
Always wanted to be
And the radio
AM radio
Oh, the radio will set you free
And I drive into the wilderness
And I drive to find a sense of purpose there
And I drive to find a perfect world
Where I hope to build a house
And the radio
AM radio
Oh, the radio will set you free
And I drive because the angels fly
And I drive because I fear the coming of the night
The fearsome night
I've agreed to pay the price
And the radio
AM radio
Oh, the radio will set you free
Oh, my friends don't understand me
And my wife begins to fear
That I've lost some sense of balance
And I've lost the will to live
And the radio
AM radio
Oh, the radio will set you free
