| I got something on my mind; | 
| I’m just a little bit depressed | 
| I try to blame it on the rain but it was in my heart, I guess | 
| I’m feeling like a stranger when I drove through my hometown | 
| Past the sign that reads 'The Boyhood Home of a Place That’s Long Gone Now' | 
| I realized ain’t nothing what it used to be Until I heard a song that takes me to my memories | 
| Chorus: | 
| Radio saved my life tonight | 
| An old song that that DJ played made me feel alright | 
| I made it home by my dashboard light | 
| The radio saved my life tonight | 
| Just this side of morning, just this side of dawn | 
| I walked so soft into my bedroom, saw my wife sleeping alone | 
| She whispered, «Baby, are you OK? | 
| Have you been gone for long?» | 
| I just kicked off my jeans and I held her close, I held her all night long | 
| I tried to sleep but in my mind I heard that song | 
| Like a friend in need the melody keeps me hanging on Chorus: | 
| Radio saved my life tonight | 
| An old song that that DJ played made me feel alright | 
| I made it home by my dashboard light | 
| Radio saved my life tonight | 
| Chorus: | 
| The radio saved my life tonight | 
| The sad song that the DJ played made me feel alright | 
| As I drove down that lonesome highway just me and my dashboard light | 
| Radio saved my life tonight | 
| Radio saved my life tonight | 
| That old song that the DJ played made me feel alright | 
| I made it home by my dashboard light | 
| Radio saved my life tonight | 
| The radio saved my life tonight | 
| The radio saved my life tonight | 
| The radio saved my life tonight |
