My Name Is Ray

My Name Is Ray 

I know what you feel when you see the nightly news 
And I know what you think when the headlines hammer you 
You’re dodgin’ bullets from the crime out in the street 
And playin’ Lotto, maybe stop you’re losin’ streak 

Turn me up, my name is Ray 
This is the station bound to shake this nation 
Turn it up, my name is Ray 
And I know the way, I know the way 

You can build a highway from here to Heaven
But the waitress at the truck stop will lure you to her bed 
You can try to make a monument to last forever 
But the levies on the property will run you into red 
I know you’re basically good, but you’re besieged 
Taxes and temptation leave you weak in the knees 
Down at the bottom of this mess we’re all in 
Is a bureaucrat pervert, loves his life of sin 

Turn me up, I’ll tell you what he’s spreadin’ round, yeah 
He kisses any lips, red, black or brown 
Turn me up, and we’ll run him out of town 
He says he wants to help you, but he’ll only drag you down 

Get out of the middle, you’ve got to choose a side 
And I am the man who can make up your mind 
Turn up your radio and listen to Ray 
‘cause I know that you know that I know the way 

You got one chance to raise your spirit up 
Turn from temptation, set your back to evil 
Turn up your radio and tune into Ray 
‘cause I know the way, I know the way 

Turn me up, my name is Ray 
This is the station bound to rock this nation 
Turn it up, my name is Ray 
And I know that you know that I know the way 
Turn me up, my name is Ray 
Turn me up, my name is Ray 
And you know that I know that you have lost your way 
My name is Ray, my name is Ray 
My name is Ray, I know the way
