Key D. Drop-D tuning.
This is another one of AJ??s beauties, showing off Brent Mason??s picking.
It??s played on the bridge pickup with a little reverb. Riffs #1-4 are
played during the first chorus, and #5-8 during the second chorus. The
alternating chorus riffs are steel guitar.
On the wrong end of the highway
when the long night has no end
When there's no one there 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 feeling blue
Thank God for the radio playing all night long
Playing all the songs that mean so much to me and you.
There's a song that we first danced to
And there's a song they played the night we met
And there's a song we first made love to
That's a song that I'll never forget
Thank God for the radio when I'm on the road
When I'm far from home and feeling blue
