lyrics

The Killer On The Radio (Markus Rill)

The mail man today brought me nothing but bills
and my regular nine-to-five, it don’t offer much in the way of thrills
but I know just what I’ll do
when the working day is through

I’m gonna hop in my pick-up
and spin the dial until I know
that it’s just me and the road
and the Killer on the radio

Read the paper today and I found nothing but bad bad news
it’s enough to give a grown man the blues
I know something’s gonna make me smile
make me forget about the weight of the world for a little while

I’m gonna hop in my pick-up
and spin the dial until I know
that it’s just me and the road
and the Killer on the radio
I’ll hit the blacktop
and let those four wheels roll
till it’s just me and the road
and the Killer on the radio

Yeah, I know something’s gonna make me feel better
as if none of the things that bother me really mattered

I’m gonna hop in my pick-up
and spin the dial until I know
that it’s just me and the road
and the Killer on the radio
I’ll hit the blacktop
and let those four wheels roll
till it’s just me and the road
and the Killer on the radio
