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 for me"
Em                           C           D              Am
And how I got the job as an FM Jock the day you married me?
          G                          C
We were two kids and I was 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 made my voice go low
     Em                       C             D                G
They said that they liked the younger 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 back home again, via 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                       C
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

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
