W.O.L.D Songtext

W.O.L.D Songtext
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 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
I am the morning dj on w*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
The drinking i did on my last big gig it made my voice go low
They said that they liked the young sound 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, via Boise, Idaho
That′s how this business goes
I am the morning dj on w*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
I′ve been making extra money playing 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 me
I got a spot on the top of my head, just begging for a new toupee
Theres a tyre around my gut from sitting
But they′re never gonna go away
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
I've been thinking that i should stop diskc jockeying
And start that record store
Maybe i could settle down if you'ld take me back once more
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
W*o*l*d, w*o*l*d, w*o*l, w*o*l, w*o*l*d*d*d
I am the morning dj on w*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
I am the morning dj on w*o*l*d
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 was into AM rock
But i just had to run around
It's been eight years since i left you babe

The bright good morning voice who′s heard but never seen
Feeling all of forty-five, going on fifteen
I am the morning dj on w*o*l*d
