AM-FM Blues

Lyrics

[Verse 1] I'm just a songwriter Who's makin' records now The company says that I can sell But I really don't see how Won't someone give me a clue To solve my AM-FM blues [Verse 2] I play The Bitter End, The Troubadour Where all the FM people go They're on their feet applauding I should be on the radio I'm tired of payin' dues I got those AM-FM blues [Verse 3] Please Mr. D.J., where did I go wrong? You asked for something different Now the lyrics are too strong And even Moe, the promotion man He's tearin' out his hair He'd like to tell you where to go But you know he doesn't dare [Verse 4] Hey what's this station doin' on the FM dial I just heard the same music over on the AM side Now you got me all confused I've got the AM-FM blues [Verse 5] But maybe after all I'm better off like I am I never had much use for money, girls or fame And if it starts to happen I'll probably holler "stop" 'Cause I know down deep inside of me It's lonely at the top [Verse 6] And then today it happened Over the radio it came And as the recorded ended I waited for my name But they went straight to the news I got those AM-FM blues
