W.O.L.D. (Live)

Lyrics

[Spoken] I have, uh, trouble getting my songs on the radio 'cause they're too long. But this is a song that snuck on for, on the charts for about fifteen minutes.  [Verse 1] 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 into AM rock But I just had to run around It's been eight years since I left you, babe Let me tеll you 'bout what's gone down [Chorus] I am the morning DJ at WOLD-D-D-D-D-D-D (O.L.D.) Playing all the hits for you Whеrever you may be The bright good morning voice Who's heard but never seen Oh, feeling all of forty-five going on fifteen [Verse 2] The drinking I did on my last big gig It made my voice go low They said that they like the young sounds (Sounds, sounds, 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 business goes [Chorus] I am the morning DJ at WOLD-D-D-D-D-D-D (O.L.D.) Playing all the hits for you Wherever you may be The bright good morning voice Who's heard but never seen Oh, feeling all of forty-five going on fifteen Tom, you want to sing me the bridge? "Extra money..." [Bridge] I've been making extra money doing high school sock hops I'm the big-time guest MC You should hear me talking 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 toupee And a tire around my gut from sitting on my But it's never gonna go away [Verse 3] 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 disc jocking 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 [Pre-Chorus] (WOLD) WOLD (WOLD) WOLD (WOLD) WOL WOLD-D-D [Chorus] I am the morning DJ at KHJ-J-J-J-J-J-J (K.H.J.) Playing all the hits for you Playing them night and day The bright good morning voice Who's heard but never seen Oh, feeling all of forty-five going on fifteen I am the morning DJ at WOLD-D-D-D-D
