Hello honey it's me.
What did you think when you heard me back on the radio?
And what did the kids say when they knew it was their long-lost daddy-o?
Remember how we listened to the radio
And I said, "That's the place to be"
And how I got the job as an FM jock the day you married me?
It was two kids and I was into AM rock, but I just had to run around
It's been ages since I left you babe,
Let me tell you 'bout what's gone down:
CHORUS
I am the morning DJ at W.O.L.D
Playin all the hits for you
wherever you may be
The bright good morning voice whose heard but never seen.
Ohh feeling all of 45 goin on 15
The drinkin i did on my last big gig
it made my voice go low.
They said that they liked the younger sound
When they let me go.
So i drifted on down to Tulsa, Oklahoma
to do me a late night talk show
Now i worked my way down home again via Boise, Idaho.
Thats how this business goes.
CHORUS
I am the morning DJ at W.O.L.D
Playin all the hits for you
wherever you may be
The bright good morning voice whose heard but never seen.
Ohh feeling all of 45 goin on 15
I've been makin extra money doing high school sock-hops
I'm a big time guest MC.
You should hear me talkin to the little children,
And listen what they say to me.
Got a spot on the top of my head just begging for a new tupee
And a tire round my gut from sittin on my ....(drum roll),
but its never gonna go away.
Sometimes i get this crazy dream that I just take off in my car.
But you can travel on ten thousand miles, and still stay where you are.
I've been thinkin that i should stop disk jockeying and start that record store.
Maybe i could settle down if you'd take me back once more.
Ok honey i see.
I guess he's better than me.
Sure old girl, i understand,
You don't hafta worry i'm such a happy man.
