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
