I know this song if of the 70's style, but it sounds countryish. It has a quartet or big chorus sing acapella in some places for the chorus in the song, but the lyrics I caught from the chorus were: "....Airwaves....request.... try and do your best I've been (?) listening to your voice on the radio and you soung like a friend to me (?)"
I think you're looking for a song entitled "Pilot of the Airwaves" by Charlie Dore (early 80s, actually). Here it goes:
Pilot of the Airwaves
Pilot of the airwaves
Here is my request
You don't have to play it
But I hope you'll do your best
I've been listening to your show on the radio
And you seem like a friend to me
Or a record of your choice
I don't mind, I'd be happy just to hear your voice
Saying this is for the girl
Who didn't sign her name
Yes, she needs a dedication just the same
Late at night I'm still listening
Don't waste my time chasing sleep
People say I look weary
But that's just the company I keep
Ooooh, you make the nighttime race
Ooooh, I don't need to see your face
You're sounding good
Sounding good to me
Pilot of the airwaves
Here is my request
You don't have to play it
But I hope you'll do your best
I've been listening to your show on the radio
And you seem like a friend to me
Late at night I'm still listening
Don't waste my time chasing sleep
People say I look weary
But that's just the company I keep
Ooooh, you make the nighttime race
Ooooh, I don't need to see your face
You're sounding good
Sounding good to me
You're sounding so good to me
Pilot of the airwaves
Here is my request
You don't have to play it
But I hope you'll do your best
I've been listening to your show on the radio
And you seem like a friend to me
Oh, I've been listening to your show on the radio
And you seem like a friend to me
Ohhh
Play that song for me
Won't you just play that song for me
