Harry Chapin W*O*L*D* [Live] 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 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 ages since I left you babe
Let me tell you 'bout what's gone down

I am the morning DJ at W O L D
Oh well, playing all the hits for you wherever you may be
The bright good morning voice who's heard but never seen
Oh, 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 worked my way down home again
Here to Boise, Idaho
That's how this business goes

I am the morning DJ at W O L D, oh well
Playing all the hits for you wherever you may be
The bright good morning voice who's heard but never seen
Big shot, if you keep on singing low like that
You're going to turn the little girls heart

I've been making extra money

Doing 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
Just begging for a new toupee
And a tire around my gut from sitting on my butt
But it's 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
Still stay where you are

Rather thinking that I should stop disk jockeying
And start that record store
Maybe I could settle down
Baby, take me back once more

Okay 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 D, D

I am the morning DJ at W K T U
Playing disco oh shit and you know what you can do
The bright good morning voice who's heard but never seen
Oh, feeling all of forty-five, going on fifteen, howwzat

I am the morning DJ at W O L D, D
