Late Night Radio Greg Brown

All across Kansas, all across Kansas
In the night-
We'll reach Missouri in the dawn's
Early light
My sister and I in the back seat don't
Care how far we got to go
We want to keep rolling, listening to
That late night radio

Mama took the suitcases and blankets
Made us a little nest
Every time we peek up she says
"You kids try to get a little rest."
We can hear her and daddy singing
Warm as the dashlight glow
In the back seat, rain for the drumbeat
Listening to that late night radio

We're almost sleeping
Tucking in our legs and arms
We're almost dreaming
Looking through the rain at the little lights of the farms
If we get stuck in the mud
My daddy he will carry us I know
The music's coming all the way from
Texas on the late night radio
