John Hiatt - Pirate Radio Lyrics
Well, those electric sheep to the valley they keep walkinOn the radio waves selling tennis shoes and beerIt induces sleep when that dj starts his squawkinIm lookin for one song to save me on this midnight clearSo how far do we have to go to hear that pirate radio?One song that could steal our heartsBefore they turn into silver and goldWell Im drivin my care real slow and my baby wants to knowWhen we gonna hear our song on that pirate radio?One star in the sky so I named it ottis reddingOr maybe marvin gaye lookin for his tammi turellThere aint no mountain high enough to stop this weddingRollin out of memphis to detroit I can hear those bellsSo how far do we have to go to hear that pirate radio?One song that could steal our heartsBefore they turn into silver and goldWell Im drivin my care real slow and my baby wants to knowWhen we gonna hear our song on that pirate radio?Well, weve been drivin all night, ever since we were teenagers,Up to that border town where the outlaw station air wavesWhere the djs outta sight and his heart is so courageousAnd he loves every song that hes puttin on for the free and braveSo how far do we have to go to hear that pirate radio?One song that could steal our heartsBefore they turn into silver and goldWell Im drivin my care real slow and my baby wants to knowWhen we gonna hear our song on that pirate radio?
