Married at sixteen two kids by twenty one
But he couldn't take it now
She's raising 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 ache 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 build an empty space he left behind
She gets lost in her 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'll finish clearing 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 them off her mind
She's got a radio heart
It helps build an empty space he left behind
She gets lost in her steel guitar
Always 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
She's got a radio heart
