[Bm] What did you think [G] when you heard me back [C] on the radio?
[Em]
[A] What did the kids [G] say when they knew it [F] was their long lost [Em] daddy?
Oh, remember how we listened to [C] the radio and [D] I said, that's the place [G] to be.
[Em] And how I got the job [C] as an FM jock [D] the day you married [A] me.
[G] It was two kids and I was [C] into AM rock, but [D] I just had to [Em] run around.

[G] The bright [D] good morning voice [Em] whose hair I've never [F] seen.
[C] Feeling all [G] 45, [D] knowing I'm [Em] 15.
The drinking I [C] did on my last big gig, [D] it made my voice [G] go low.
[Em] They said that they liked the [C] young sound when [D] they let [Am] me go.
[G] So I drifted on down [C] to Tulsa, Oklahoma [D] to do me a late night [Em] talk show.
[F] Now I've worked my way [C] down home again, [D] little boy, there, [Am] Idaho.
[D] That's how this [Am] business goes.
[B] [Em] [G] I am the [D] morning DJ [Em] at W-O [C]-L-D.

[F] You should hear me talking [C] to the little children.
[D] And listen what they say [B] to me.
I [Em] got a spot on the top of my head, [D] just begging for a new toothpaste.
[F] There's a parallel [C] cut from Sydney, [D] but it's never gonna go [Em] away.
Sometimes I [C] get this crazy dream [D] that I just take off in [G] my car.
But [Em] you can travel on [C] 10,000 [C] miles [D] and still stay where [Am] you are.
[G] Thinking that I [C] should stop this [D] jockeying and start that record [Em] store.
[F] Maybe I [C] could settle down, [D] take me back [Em] once more.
[F#m] [Em] Okay, honey, [D#] I see.

You don't have to worry, I'm such a happy man.
