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? [Verse 1]
Em                              C
Remember how we listened to the radio

      D                         G
And I said "That's the place to be"

    Em                      C           D               Am
And how I got the job as an FM Jock the day you married me?

       G                       C
It was two kids and I was into AM rock

      D                     Em
But I just had to run around

          Fmaj7               C
It's been eight years since I left you babe

       D                         Am
Let me tell you 'bout what's gone down
[Chorus]
  G              D     Em    Fmaj7
I am the morning DJ at W*O*L*D

C               G                D/F#         Am7
Playing all the hits for you wherever you may be

G                D                   Em              Fmaj7
 The bright good-morning voice who's heard but never seen

C                G        D/F#        Em7
Feeling all of forty-five going on fifteen
[Verse 2]
    Em                   C               D                G
The drinking I did on my last big gig it made my voice go low

     Em                          C        D                Am
They said that they liked the young sound when they let me go

     G                  C                  D                  Em
So I drifted on down to Tulsa, Oklahoma to do me a late night talk show

      Fmaj7              C                   D         Am
Now I worked my way down home again, near to Boise, Idaho

       D                 Am7
That's how this business goes
[Chorus]
  G              D     Em    Fmaj7
I am the morning DJ at W*O*L*D

C               G                D/F#         Am7
Playing all the hits for you wherever you may be

G                D                   Em              Fmaj7
 The bright good-morning voice who's heard but never seen

C                G        D/F#        Em7
Feeling all of forty-five going on fifteen
[Bridge]
    Em                       
I'm making extra money doing high school sock hops

D                       
I'm a big time guest MC

           Fmaj7                  C
You should hear me talking to the little children

    D                       B
And listen what they say to me

        Em                               D
I got a spot on the top of my head, just begging for a new toupee

          Fmaj7                                 C
There's a tire around my gut from sitting on my ---

         D               Em
But it's never gonna go away
[Verse]
Em                   C
Sometimes I get this crazy dream

       D                   G
That I just take off in my car

            Em                C              D                    Am
But you can travel on ten thousand miles and still stay where you are

G                      C
Thinking that I should stop disk jockeyin'

    D                 Em
And start that record store

Fmaj7         C                    D                 Em
Maybe I could settle down if you'd take me back once more
