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
 
(Repeat Intro)

OK 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
