Dee Jay in Tupelo 

    Yesterday, I sent a text to Miss 98. No, that isn't a contestant in a beauty pageant. It is a radio station in Tupelo, Mississippi. My friend, Bill Miles and I wrote a song called Radio. It has a line in it that is unique. The line is - The deejay in Tupelo, plays our song on the radio. 

     Here is the text I sent in- Miss 98 Radio. Odd request here. I'm a songwriter who wrote a song with my buddy called Radio. It has a line that say- The Dee Jay in Tupelo, plays our song on the radio. Would you be interested in hearing it? I was asking permission to send it in. 

     Scott Spencer the morning DJ texted back. Sure. I would love to hear it and he sent me his email. I sent him a copy of my song and he emailed me back. He wrote, I like it. It does warm my heart to hear the "DJ in Tupelo" line. I've begged David Lee Murphy to write a song about a DJ every time we've had him on air... so far, nothing. Ok, if I give it a spin some time?

     Of course I told him yes. I also told him that he made my day. The best possible result that I could of wished for. Taking a step of faith. Stepping outside of a box that we all live in. It is great to see a glimpse of God working behind the scenes. Here are the lyrics and the song. If you like the song, share it. 

 Radio 

Bill Miles/Jim McCarter 

 

Looking through the window of this old truck 

 been gone two days and  two day’s enough 

I swung through Texas, Oklahoma, and Arkansas 

pull off the road, give you a call 

 

 Chorus- That’s our song on the radio 

Reminds me of us in my GTO 

Turn it up, play it loud 

Wishing I was with you now 

Down the highways and interstates 

we would roll. 

While the Dee Jay from Tupelo 

plays our song on the radio 

 

You’re driving a Dodge Caravan, full of kids 

Ballet and baseball games, that the life you live  

Last night you called as you set your alarm 

Heard the music in the background 

 

Chorus 

 

The stations used to play our song ten times a day 

And now, every once in a while, I get to say 

 

Chorus
