His mama said Ą°Baby, wait for me in the car,Ą±
|
And she went lookinĄŻ for his daddy inside a bar
|
So he sat and let the radio take him far away
|
ListeninĄŻ to XPRS and KRLA.

Well Rachel was twenty and he was seventeen years old
|
SittinĄŻ in a parked car on a country road
|
RunninĄŻ his fingers through her long black hair
|
And the Staples singinĄŻ Ą°Baby, IĄŻll take you there.Ą±

|
|
DoinĄŻ the dishes long after midnight
|
TalkinĄŻ about the eveninĄŻ news with his wife
|
The baby wakes up and starts to cry
|
So they turn the radio on for his lullaby.
