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
