G
All broke down, comin' in low
C G
Far away like a radio
Red lights flash
Static and snow
D G
Far away like a radio
G
I was riding shotgun with the driver
The love is in the rounders
C
Come along with me to LA
Me and my bride on a Greyhound back
D G
She took a piece out of me that I'll never get back
G
All broke down, comin' in low, comin' in low
C G
Far away like a radio
Red lights flash
Static and snow
D G
Far away like a radio
G
Ghosts in a shot glass, and lonely all around

One end of town laughin' at the other
C G
They got ragin' home wreckers makin' welfare mothers
Street hosed down when the dawn breaks low
D G
Shinin' like a mirror so the shadows won't show

All broke down, comin' in low, comin' in low

Far away like a radio
Red lights flash
Static and snow

Far away like a radio

All the happy endings
