I got a hot cup of coffee warming up my hand
I keep a beat on the handle with my wedding band
The DJ plays The Gambler after Ramblin Man
Driving through Winslow, Arizona in the middle of the 
night
I got a map in case I need it on the passenger side
And I've been on the road since nine o'clock Tulsa Time
I'm fifty thousand watts from Dallas 
And I'm forty-seven miles from home
Say a prayer to save me from static
Thank God for a.m. radio, for a.m. radio.
Pushing my luck against the dial taking bets against the 
fields
And I would stop to Pop a Top but I might lose it in the 
hedge. 
I would make it out to Needles they put me on the bill 
I'm fifty thousand watts from Dallas 
And I'm forty seven miles from home
Say a prayer to save me from static
Thank God for A.M. radio, for A.M. radio.
I'm fifty thousand watts from Dallas 
And I'm twenty seven miles from home
Say a prayer to save me from static,
Thank God for a.m. radio, thank god for a.m. radio, for 
a.m. radio.
