Thank God for the Radio
At the wrong end of the highway,
When the long night has no end.
When there’s no one here beside me,
Til I hold you once again.
Thank God for the radio, when I’m on the road.
When I’m far from home and feelin’ blue.
Thank God for the radio, playin’ all night long;
Playin’ all the songs that mean so much to me and you.
There’s a song that we first danced to.
There’s a song that played the night we met.
There’s a song we fell in love to:
That’s a song I’ll never forget.
Thank God for the radio, when I’m on the road.
When I’m far from home and feelin’ blue.
Thank God for the radio, playin’ all night long;
Playin’ all the songs that mean so much to me and you.
Thank God for the radio, when I’m on the road.
When I’m far from home and feelin’ blue.
Thank God for the radio, playin’ all night long;
Playin’ all the songs that mean so much to me and you.
Playin’ all the songs that mean so much,
Till I feel your tender touch,
All the songs that mean so much to me and you.
Thank God for the radio.

Jeannie’s husband …
Jeannie’s husband is Mack Watkins. They’ve been married over 30 years. He was playing for Del Reeves when they met, but asked to be in the band if they recorded “Heaven’s Just a Sin Away”, because he knew it was a hit. I can see Jeannie being surprised when asked if her and Royce were married, because it was so well publicized they were father and daughter, seems odd a few people missed that.

I’m a old redneck and not one bit ashamed of it. This song may be “thank god for the radio”, but I’m thanking youtube and sirius #62 so I can listen to good old fashioned country music, not this crap coming out today. Taylor Swift, Carrie Underwood and Kelly Clarkson aren’t even in the same zip code as Jeannie Kendall
