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.
Playing all the hits for you
Wherever you may be
The bright good morning voice
Who's heard but never seen
Feeling all of 45, going on 15
The drinking I did on my last big gig
Made my voice go low
They said that they like the young sounds
When they let me go
So I drifted on down to Tulsa, Oklahoma
To do me a late night talk show
Now I've worked my way down home again
Here to Boise, Idaho, that's how this buisness goes
CHORUS
I've been making extra money doing high school sock-hops
I'm a big time guest MC
You should hear me talking to the little children
And listen to what they say to me
I got a spot on the top of my head
Just begging for a new toupe
and a tire round my gut from sitting on my ____
But it's 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 been thinkin' that I should stop this jockin' and
start that record store,
Maybe I could settle down, if you'd take me back once more.
Okay, honey I see
I guess he's better than me
Sure old girl, I understand
You don't have to worry
I'm such a happy man
CHORUS
