[Verse 1]
I've been drivin' all night, my hands wet on the wheel
There's a voice in my head that drives my heel
It's my baby callin', says, "I need you here"
And it's a-half-past four and I'm shifting gear
[Pre-Chorus]
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
[Chorus]
We've got a thing and that's a-called radar love
We've got a wave in the air
Radar love
[Verse 2]
The radio's playing some forgotten song
Brenda Lee's "Coming On Strong"
The road has got me hypnotized
And I'm a-speedin' into a new sunrise
[Pre-Chorus]
When I get lonely and I'm a-sure I've had enough
She sends her comfort coming in from above
We don't need no letter at all
[Chorus]
We've got a thing that's called a-radar love
We've got a line in the sky
Radar love
[Verse 3]
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
[Pre-Chorus]
When I get lonely and I'm sure I've had enough
A-she sends her comfort coming in from above
We don't need no letter at all
[Chorus]
We've got a thing that's called radar love
We've got a line in the sky
We've got a thing a-that's called a-radar a-love
We've got a thing that's called
Radar love
