Jones, George - Radio Lover Lyrics
[Spoken:]
He kisses her goodbye,
And heads for the radio station.
Oh, he hates to leave her,
But he's got another show to do.
So he lets her know that he's thinking about her.
And though millions are listening,
She knows who he's talking to.
[Chorus (Sang):]
Comin' to you live like I do every night
From the heart of your radio.
I play a little sad, and I play a lotta glad.
And a few ol' cheatin' songs.
Found a love just as true as mine
Good night angel, sleep tight darlin'
Close your pretty brown eyes.
When the show is over,
Your radio lover
Will be home by your side.
She's laying in bed
As her DJ tells her that he loves her.
It would break his heart
If he knew she wasn't there alone.
She knows when to cheat
And when to tell her lover to leave her.
She knows they'll be safe
Just as long as his show goes on.
[Spoken:]
He planned a surprise
For the night of their first anniversary.
He taped his show just so he could be home.
The radio was playing and,
As he walked in on her and her lover,
He heard himself saying
The last words that they ever heard.
[Chorus (Sang):]
Comin' to you live like I do every night
From the heart of your radio.
I play a little sad, and I play a lotta glad.
And a few ol' cheatin' songs.
Here's hopin' everybody out in radio land
Found a love just as true as mine
Good night angel, sleep tight darlin'
Close your pretty brown eyes.
When the show is over,
Your radio lover
Will be home by your side.
[Chorus (Sang):]
Comin' to you live like I do every night
From the heart of your radio.
I play a little sad, and I play a lotta glad.
And a few ol' cheatin' songs.
Here's hopin' everybody out in radio land...

You are still the king RIP, George
This is country gold!! I grew up listening to this music and my kids one day will grow up on this as well.
My best friend Ric(Stosh) Kukla loved ole George Jones now they're in Heaven together R.I.P
Every person that gives a thumb down for the Possum is obviously a Georgia Florida Line wanker
Love you George

Back then radio stations back then ended at midnight now day play songs 24 hours day seven days week. Let's keep Country Music growing strong. All classic hits songs today like was back old days.
Probably my favorite song ever
mine do
damn right!!!!!!
Got the pleasure of seeing him perform 3 times & met him once... But not at a concert, he come into the gas station where I worked & was so down to earth!.. It was truly an honor!
Nobody could ever beat the possum
Who the hell is the 72 people who disliked this
Thank you,George. I love you.
Radioland....u kept fukn with me til George Jones had to get up and kick ur asses....
he'll get there...dont worry bout that. ha!
Wino the clown

I grew up listening to Grorge and the rest of the old country music and everytime I hear them it takes me back!!Can't beat the old country songs!! They will live in my heart FOREVER!
Thanks Mike!
That me Dj all friend call me DJ that family call me Dj
This is 1 of my favorite songs of His.
fabulous ...
George Jones is one of the greatest inspirational signer to me. Thank you for this wonderful post.
Best friend that a country song ever had !
coming to you live like I do every night
Byevhivr
George was the best. Simply the best.
without a doubt!
That chorus is so damn sad.
This is real country it tells a story and you can imagine what's going on. George will also be the best. In the old days you knew the singer with then a few secs that's not true today
Sadly country music has lost it's way over the last twenty or so years. I can't mention his name but an extremely well known country singer told me in his exact words. I miss the old style of country so much myself and only sing mostly crap songs as they are now considered the IN music and I have to please my audience. I'd say the majority of country singers over forty feel that way to be honest; unquote. Oh how we miss all the legends of country music whom have passed on, especially from the 50's onwards, they will all live on forever as long as there is country music. Possum was a giant RIP George.
Can you believe all the people who "love George Jones" and this song reminds them of their momma and daddy. REALLY? Did you listen to the words?????? Pick a different song for those comments maybe?
Chill out. When you're a kid you don't know what the words mean. The beat and voice is what makes you reminisce about your childhood.
fuck you
Bullshit
another great song by george
love this song
great memories...thanks forever George
"The Last Words that they ever heard !!!

He was was my dad hero I grew up listening to him and well my dad too ...I will see what I can do ha ha
Music today cannot even imagine coming anywhere close to the energy of this song and many others of the era and before.
Remind me of my radio DJ days...Now a days there are no DJ's computer's...
coming to you live like i do every night.....damn woman
This song is outstanding.
my dad would turn up the radio to these song to get me up on the weekends, i was so mad then i just wanted to turn it off but now i just want to turn up the radio
Barrington Thompson yes indeed!! I'm listening to Jones while cleaning house!! Hope you have a great day :)
thank you
Same here ,,I didnt like these songs when I was a kid ,,now it's all I listen to
I love My Dad Too. Keep playing those songs he used to play
The gun did not pull the trigger you cannot kill someone with a gun If you don't have a Gun
They just don't make country music like they used too... Miss the music my daddy used to play. :-)
Grew up hating Dad's Music ... Now his music is my music
Thiz remindz me of my mama n daddy :)
doll pad

Guns dont kill people, husbands that come home early do...........
Jimmie.Davis
@MissAmazanda so sorry no one deserves that
Nailed it my Friend!!
id be upset she didnt get me a partner lol
dang, thats funny
Whenever I hear this tune I think back... Oops it could have been me a time or two! Funny how old Jack Daniel's makes one feel invisible and bulletproof.
great great tune wish they made music like this still
i first heard this song in the early 80s and loved it he sings so many songs with so much feeling to the words
george jones simply the best
where's john conlee's version.....
I'm betting the farm that it's probably on john Conlee's page...if I was a gambling man....not like he could sing it any better than the possum.
My bad...it was a different song altogether
looks like I gambled and lost
Love this brings back lots of child hood memories R.i.p Aunt Lisa
one of the best if not the best
R.I.P Possum i may be young but your songs have carried me through many long nights. And heartbreaks. God Blessed me with your music. And now he gets you back. Give those angels something to covet. I remember your words that day. "Son keep your head up we all end up the same place just enjoy the time as it comes."
god got that right!!
so if george strait is king of country music, what would that mean george jones is?????....the god of country music??!!!!!!!......I love them both!!!!!!!!!
It makes Mr Straight a prince. Not a king
did he kill his wife and her lover? , cause it says the last words they ever heard.
and ill shoot them right of the table
bob spilchen Yeah he killed the cheating bitch
Yes. He was outraged when he caught them fooling around behind his back, then he killed them both.
One of my favorite songs from Mr. Jones. R.I.P
I wad browsing looking for a Spanish song then I got here is a really nice song not like the crap of hip hop that's why I listen to Spanish music but I didn't know it was music like this in English
Jesus H. Christ can Mr. Jones tell a story! I love this man!
one of my favo
rites from ol possum
Rest in peace, George Jones
u will never be forgotten friend we love u george
