Pirate Radio Lyrics - 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

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

Oh, when we gonna hear our song 

Yeah, when we gonna hear our song 

On that Pirate Radio?
