Pilot of the Airwaves lyrics

Pilot of the airwaves
Here is my request
You don’t have to play it
But I hope you’ll do your best
I’ve been listening to your show on the radio
And you seem like a friend to me

Or a record of your choice
I don’t mind
I’d be happy just to hear your voice
Saying this is for the girl
Who didn’t sign her name
Yes, she needs a dedication just the same

Late at night I’m still listening
Don’t waste my time chasing sleep
People say I look weary
But that ‘s just the company I keep

Ooooh, you make the nighttime race
Ooooh, I don’t need to see your face
You’re sounding good (sounding good)
Sounding good to me

Pilot of the airwaves
Here is my request
You don’t have to play it
But I hope you’ll do your best
I’ve been listening to your show on the radio
And you seem like a friend to me

[Interlude]

Late at night I’m still listening
Don’t waste my time chasing sleep
People say I look weary
But that’s just the company I keep

Ooooh, you make the nighttime race
Ooooh, I don’t need to see your face
You’re sounding good (sounding good)
Sounding good to me

Pilot of the airwaves
Here is my request
You don’t have to play it
But I hope you’ll do your best
I’ve been listening to your show on the radio
And you seem like a friend to me
(Oooooh, I been) listening to your show on the radio
And you seem like a friend to me

Oooooh-ooooh-oooooh
Oooooh-ooooh-oooooh
Oooooh-ooooh-oooooh
Play that song for me
Oooooh-ooooh-oooooh
Oh, won’t you just play that song for me
