Lyrics

[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 tell you 'bout what's gone down [Chorus] I am the morning DJ at WOLD-D-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 Feeling all of forty-give 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-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 Feeling all of forty-five going on fifteen [Bridge] I'm making extra money doing high school sock hops I'm the big-time guest emcee 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 There's 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 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 [Verse 4] 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) (WOL) (WOLD) [Chorus] I am the morning DJ at WOLD-D-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 Feeling all of forty-five going on fifteen [Outro] I am the morning DJ at WOLD-D-D-D-D-D-D-D (O.L.D.) WOLD (O.L.D.) D-D-D-D-D-D-D (O.L.D.) WOLD-D-D-D-D-D-D-D (O.L.D.) WOLD (O.L.D.) D-D-D-D-D-D-D (O.L.D.) WOLD-D-D-D-D-D-D-D (O.L.D.) WOLD (O.L.D.) D-D-D-D-D-D-D (O.L.D.) WOLD
