W.O.L.D. Lyrics
Advisory - the following lyrics contain explicit language:
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?We were two kids and I was was into AM rock
But I just had to run around
It's been eight years since I'd left you babe
Let me tell you 'bout what's gone downI am the mornin' DJ on W O L D
Playin' all the hits for you wherever you may be
The bright good-mornin' voice who's heard but never seen
Feelin' all of forty-five goin' on fifteenThe drinkin' I did on my last big gig
You made my voice go low
They said that they liked the younger sound
When they let me goSo I drifted on down to Tulsa, Oklahoma
To do me a late night talk show
Now I worked my way down home again, via Boise, Idhao
That's how this business goesWell I am the mornin' DJ on W O L D
Playin' all the hits for you wherever you may be
The bright good-mornin' voice who's heard but never seen
If you keep on singing on alone like that
You're gonna turn the little girls offI've been making extra money to a high school sock hops
I'm a big time guest MC
You should hear me talking to the little children
And listen what they say to meThe spot on the top of my head
Just begging for a new toupee
And a tire on my gut from sittin' on my
But it's never gonna go away, stay childrenSometimes I get this crazy dream
That I just take off in my car
When you can travel on ten thousand miles
And still say where you areI've been thinking that I should stop disk jockeying
And start that record store
Maybe I could settle down
If you'd take me back once moreOk 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 manW O L D
W O L D
W O L D
W O L D D DI am the mornin' DJ on W O L D
Playin' disco pushship and you know what you can do
The bright good mornin' voice who's heard but never seen
Feeling all of forty-five, goin' on fifteen
How's that?
I am the mornin' DJ at W O L D
