Come on now, small-town DJ, she really broke my heart
Now I'm just drivin' down this highway, listenin' in the dark
And all I really need is a catchy hook, no poetic words from a fancy book
No lies about lovin' forever, just somethin' that'll make me feel better
Give me somethin' to write to, and forget about life too
The kind you wanna get high to, and lay back in the night too
Yeah, used to be dance songs, slow jams and romance songs
But now that she's gone and her radio's on, yeah, I just want one that don't sing about her
Give me somethin' to write to
I don't know where I'm goin' right now, but the sign on the road says south
And if I hear one more slow-down sound, I'm bound to turn back around
So give me somethin' to write to, and forget about life too
The kind you wanna get high to, and lay back in the night too
Yeah, used to be dance songs, slow jams and romance songs
But now that she's gone and her radio's on, yeah, I just want one that don't sing about her
Give me somethin' to write to
Yeah, yeah
Give me somethin' to write to
Get her out of my mind too


Feelin' good and goodbye too
No lines about love and forever
Just somethin' that'll make me feel better
Give me somethin' to write to, and forget about life too
The kind you wanna get high to, and lay back in the night too
Yeah, used to be dance songs, slow jams and romance songs
But now that she's gone and her radio's on, yeah, I just want one that don't sing about her
Give me somethin' to write to
Yeah, yeah
Give me somethin' to write to
Come on now, small-town DJ
She really broke my heart
And I'm just drivin'
Driving down this highway, listening in the dark.
