Pirate Radio

pirate radio - john hiatt
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 talkin'
i'm lookin' for one song
to save me on this midnight clear
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?
oh, 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
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?
oh, 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 out of sight
and his heart is so courageous
and he loves every song
that he's puttin' on for the free and brave
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
oh, when we gonna hear our song
yeah, when we gonna hear our song
on that pirate radio?
pirate radio, pirate radio,
pirate radio,
