^FOne more midnight, her ^Fman is still gone ^FThe nights move too^F ^Fslow ^FShe tries to remember the ^Fheat of his touch ^FWhile ^Flistening to the ^GBorder ^FRadio

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:

&^Fquot;This song comes from nineteen sixty-two ^FDedicated to a man who's gone ^FFifty thousand watts out of Mexico ^FThis is the ^GBorder Radi^Fo ^FThis is the ^GBorder Radi^Fo"

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)
