've been driving all night, my hands wet on the wheel
There's a voice in my head that drives my heel
It's my baby calling, says I need you here
And it's a half past four and I'm shifting gear
When she is lonely and the longing gets too much
She sends a cable coming in from above
Don't need no phone at all
We've got a thing that's called radar love
We've got a wave in the air, radar love
The radio is playing some forgotten song
Brenda Lee's coming on strong
The road has got me hypnotised
And I'm speeding into a new sunrise
refrein:
When I get lonely and I'm sure I've had enough
She sents her comfort coming in from above
We don't need no letter at all
We've got a thing that's called radar love
We've got a light in the sky, radar love
No more speed, I'm almost there
Gotta keep cool now, gotta take care
Last car to pass, here I go
And the line of cars drove down real slow
And the radio played that forgotten song
Brenda Lee's coming on strong
And the newsman sang his same song
Oh one more radar lover gone
refrein
We've got a thing that's called radar love
We've got a light in the sky
