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
