Hello Honey, it's me
|
What did you think when you heard me back on the radio?
|
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 was into AM rock
|
But I just had to run around
|
It's been eight years 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 forty-five going on fifteen
|
|
The drinking I did on my last big gig, it made my voice go low
|
They said that they liked the young 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, here to Boise, Idaho
|
That's how this business goes
|
|
CHORUS
|
|
I 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 what they say to me
|
I got a spot on the top of my head, just begging for a new toupee
|
And a tire around my gut from sitting on my butt
|
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've been thinking 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, ole girl, I understand
|
You don't have to worry, I'm such a happy man
|
|
W*O*L*D, W*O*L*D, W*O*L*D, W*O*L*D, W*O*L*D*
|
|
I am the morning DJ at K*A*H*J
|
Playing all the hits for you, playin em night and day
|
The bright good morning voice who's heard but never seen
|
Feeling all of forty-five, going on fifteen
|
I am the morning DJ at W*O*L*D, W*O*L*D, W*O*L*D, W*O*L*D...
