Married at 16, 2 kids by 21
But he couldn't take it
Now she's raisin' them 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 in 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 heartache starts
She's found a little salvation in a local station
She's got a radio heart

She's got a radio heart
