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 KRLAPlastic silver nine volt heart

And the radio was his toy

Sittin in a parked car on a country road
Runnin his fingers through her long black hair
And the Staples singin, "Baby, Ill take you there"Plastic silver nine volt heart
