Pirate Radio Lyrics by John Hiatt

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

    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 care 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 ottis redding
    Or maybe marvin gaye lookin' for his tammi turell
    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 care real slow and my baby wants to know
    When we gonna hear our song on that pirate radio?

    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

    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 care real slow and my baby wants to know
    When we gonna hear our song on that pirate radio?
