| On a lonesome highway it was gettin' late |
| Not another set of headlights on the interstate |
| I was miles from nowhere my only friend around |
| Was a country station fadin' in and out |
| And the road went on and on |
| But it just kept hangin' on |
| I can live with the static Lord but |
| I can’t turn it off |
| It might not be clear and strong |
| And sometimes it’s here and gone |
| Long as it keeps comin' back |
| I can’t turn it off |
| I was feelin' kinda desperate as the sun came up |
| They played «Hello Darlin'» and it was breakin' up |
| The signal on that lighted dial was barely comin' through |
| And I knew in a few more miles it’d be gone for good |
| And the road went on and on |
| But it just kept hangin' on |
| I can live with the static Lord but |
| I can’t turn it off |
| It might not be clear and strong |
| And sometimes it’s here and gone |
| Long as it keeps comin' back |
| I can’t turn it off |
| Be a long ol lonely ride without it |
| When I can’t hear enough |
| Oh I just turn it up |
| And the road went on and on |
| But it just kept hangin' on |
| I can live with the static Lord but |
| I can’t turn it off |
| It might not be clear and strong |
| And sometimes it’s here and gone |
| Long as it keeps comin' back |
| I can’t turn it off |
