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
It was two kids and I 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
The drinking I did on my last big gig
They said that they like the young sounds
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
That's how this business goes
doing high school sock hops
I'm the big-time guest emcee
You should hear me talking
And listen what they say to me
I got a spot on the top of my head
Just begging for a new toupee
There's a tire around my gut
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
And still stay where you are
Thinking that I should stop disc jocking
And start that record store
Maybe I could settle down
If you'd take me back once more
