Lyrics Ghost Radio - The Brian Setzer Orchestra

Ghost Radio

As I came across the Pecos
Broke west of the line
This thunderstorm was runnin'
And it ran me out of time
I was racing through the rain
With this rig from Tennessee
When a voice cut through the static
Bringing comfort home to me They were singin'
I ain’t sittin' in no shack
Got me a ford right out the back
So come on and roll me over
If I ain’t there in nothin' flat
With a honky tonk attitude
I’ll be doing the straight line swing
C’mon and grab your horseshoe
And throw it in the ring
Now the levee wall was breaking
Rocks were rolling from the ridge
The announcer broke in saying
There’s a bus trapped on the bridge
So I turned my rig around
I was axle deep in mud
And I found those people stranded
The bridge was groaning in the flood
Still my radio was singin'
I ain’t sittin' in no shack
Got me a ford right out the back
So come on and roll me over
If I ain’t there in nothin' flat
With a honky tonk attitude
I’ll be doing the straight line swing
C’mon and grab your horseshoe
And throw it in the ring
With the grinding of my engines
I hauled those people free
With the raging river rising
The driver came thanking me I told him about the message
He said that can’t be right
The storm knocked out the radio tower
Later last Saturday night
But through the static we heard singing
I ain’t sittin' in no shack
Got me a ford right out the back
So come on and roll me over
If I ain’t there in nothin' flat
With a honky tonk attitude
I’ll be doing the straight line swing
C’mon and grab your horseshoe
And throw it in the ring
Them old truckers gonna tell you
Down the lonely interstate
Out the dead air on the waveband
The Texas Playboys break
You’ll hear a keening voice
Bob Wills is with you as you drive
And you’ll know you’ve got a broadcast
Straight from 1935
Can you hear him singing
I ain’t sittin' in no shack
Got me a ford right out the back
So come on and roll me over
If I ain’t there in nothin' flat
With a honky tonk attitude
I’ll be doing the straight line swing
C’mon and grab your horseshoe
And throw it in the ring
