^GOne more midnight, her ^Cman is still gone ^GThe nights move too^C ^Gslow ^GShe tries to remember the ^Cheat of his touch ^CWhile ^Glistening to the ^DBorder ^GRadio

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:

&^Cquot;This song comes from nineteen sixty-two ^CDedicated to a man who's gone ^CFifty thousand watts out of Mexico ^GThis is the ^DBorder Radi^Go ^GThis is the ^DBorder Radi^Go"

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)
