Nine Volt Heart

His mama said, "Baby, wait for me in the car"
 And she went lookin? for his daddy inside a bar
 So he sat and let the radio take him far away
 Listenin? to XPRS and KRLA
 Plastic silver nine volt heart
 You click it on and let the music start
 And the radio was his toy
 The radio was his toy
 Well, Rachel was twenty and he was seventeen years old
 Sittin? in a parked car on a country road
 Runnin? his fingers through her long black hair
 And the Staples singin?, "Baby, I? ll take you there"
 Plastic silver nine volt heart
 You click it on and let the music start
 And the radio was his toy
 The radio was his toy
 Doin? the dishes long after midnight
 Talkin? about the evenin? news with his wife
 The baby wakes up and starts to cry
 So they turn the radio on for his lullaby
 Plastic silver nine volt heart
 You click it on and let the music start
 Plastic silver nine volt heart
 You click it on and let the music start
 And the radio was his toy
 The radio was his toy
 Plastic silver nine volt heart
 Plastic silver nine volt heart
 You click it on and let the music start
