Harry Chapin - W*O*L*D lyrics

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 for me'

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 left you babe

Let me tell you 'bout what's gone down

CHORUS

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 made my voice go low

They said that they liked the younger sound when they let me go

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

Now I worked my way back home again, via Boise, Idhao

That's how this business goes

CHORUS

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

Got a spot on the top of my head, begging for a new toupee

And a tire on my gut from sitting on my

But they're never gonna go away

Sometimes I get this crazy dream

That I just drive off in my car

But you can travel on ten thousand miles and still say where you are

I've been thinking that I should quit disk 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 K*H*J

Playing all the hits for you Playing them night and day

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
