Blame Hey Jude, but there have been some very long songs that have made the radio. For the purposes of this page, please stick to songs with lyrics, that are intended for radio play (singles).
"Oh My My," Jane Siberry Lenght:20:15
Sounds pretty much like a jam throughout, albeit a very melancholy one. Still a great song because the lulls and crescendos are used so well.

"Oh Well," Fleetwood Mac Lenght:9:00
This may be Fleetwood Mac's longest song to date and the most experimental for them as well.
Paul Warren
"OK With My Decay," Grandaddy Lenght:6:11
A song with piano music, and an acceptance of the inevitable
Ra'akone
"One of Us," Ghettobillies Lenght:19:21

"Open up, said the world at the door," The Move Lenght:7:10
Before ELO and Wizzard, both Lynne and Wood worked with each other in the band The Move. And this song contains one of the best drum solos ever.
Paul Warren
"Ordinary People," Neil Young Lenght:18:13
This song is awesome, every verse sounds like the end of the song.

"The Owner Of A Lonely Heart," Yes Lenght:7:05
The band Yes had a career revival of sorts in the fall of 1983 with the album "90125" (which was meant to parody the barcode # for the album, not the later famously made by FOX-TV zip code of Beverly Hills). "90125" appealed to the New Wave audience of the time. On the album appears this tune, at the length of 4:25, there would be a later extended mix of the song put on the CD versions of the album at 7:05. "The Owner Of A Lonely Heart" went to #1 on both sides of the Atlantic, landing at #1 for two weeks in January 1984 on Billboard Magazine's HOT 100 charts. The song went to #1 on the basis of the video that actually included the use of the later reworked extended remix and the length of the video that was used in many "video" dance clubs at the time was 6:44.
