You Can Check On Me
Stonewall Jackson · Waterloo [2004]
(Gene Crysler)
My show signs on the air at six and I get off at nine
But I sit there each evening with more than records on my mind
You know that there's three hours when you're sure that you're free
You only need your radio and you can check on me.
You can check on me fourteen thirty on your dial
No matter where you park with him I'm there to make you smile
You smile because you realize these records tie my feet
You can check on me and know how long it's safe to cheat.
--- Instrumental ---
I've called your name and played our song so often on the air
I play each request for you and someone else to hear
Out there somewhere you'll hear these words and know I've seen the light
I'll be at home when you come in I taped this show tonight...
