Hiatt John Pirate Radio Lyrics

Pirate Radio Lyrics

Well, those electric sheep to the valley they keep walkin 

 On the radio waves selling tennis shoes and beer 

 It induces sleep when that DJ starts his squawkin' 

 I'm lookin' for one song to save me on this midnight clear 

   

 CHORUS: 

 So how far do we have to go to hear that Pirate Radio? 

 One song that could steal our hearts 

 Before they turn into silver and gold 

 Well I'm drivin' my car real slow and my baby wants to know 

 When we gonna hear our song on that Pirate Radio? 

   

 One star in the sky so I named it Otis Redding 

 Or maybe Marvin Gaye lookin' for his Tammi Terrell 

 There ain't no mountain high enough to stop this wedding 

 Rollin' out of Memphis to Detroit I can hear those bells 

   

 REPEAT CHORUS 

   

 Well, we've been drivin' all night, ever since we were teenagers, 

 Up to that border town where the outlaw station air waves 

 Where the DJ's outta sight and his heart is so courageous 

 And he loves every song that he's puttin' on for the free and brave 

   

 REPEAT CHORUS
