Dave Alvin - Nine Volt Heart Lyrics
Dave Alvin/Rod Hodges(Blue Horn Toad Music, BMI/Blowout Music, ASCAP)His mama said Baby, wait for me in the car,?And she went lookin' for his daddy inside a barSo he sat and let the radio take him far awayListenin' to XPRS and KRLA.Plastic silver nine-volt heartYou click it on and let the music startAnd the radio was his toyThe radio was his toy.Well Rachel was twenty and he was seventeen years oldSittin' in a parked car on a country roadRunnin' his fingers through her long black hairAnd the Staples singin' Baby, I'll take you there.?Plastic silver nine volt heartYou click it on and let the music startAnd the radio was his toyThe radio was his toy.Doin' the dishes long after midnightTalkin' about the evenin' news with his wifeThe baby wakes up and starts to crySo they turn the radio on for his lullaby.Plastic silver nine volt heartYou click it on and let the music startPlastic silver nine volt heartYou click it on and let the music startAnd the radio was his toyThe radio was his toy.Plastic silver nine volt heartPlastic silver nine volt heartYou click it on and let the music start.
