RADIO HEART
(Stephen Davis / Dennis Morgan)
Charly McClain - 1985
Married at sixteen
Two kids by twenty-one
But he couldn't take it
Now she's raisin' them all on her own
Between the bills and the laundry
Sometimes she's so lonely she cries
But she's found an escape
From some of the achin' inside
She's got a radio heart
She loves the songs they play, they take him off her mind
She's got a radio heart
It helps fill an empty space he left behind
She gets lost in a steel guitar
Oh, it's her way out when the heartache starts
She's found a little salvation on a local station
She's got a radio heart
She'll finish clearin' the table
And put the kids off to bed
She tries to watch an old movie
But she thinks of him instead
She lies alone in the dark
And stares at the lighted dial
She gets into the music
And out of this world for a while
She's got a radio heart
She loves the songs they play, they take him off her mind
She's got a radio heart
It helps fill an empty space he left behind
She gets lost in a steel guitar
Oh, it's her way out when the heartaches start
She's found a little salvation on a local station
She's got a radio heart
She's got a radio heart
She's got a radio heart
