D                  G

     Em                          C                 C
they    said that they liked the    younger sound 
D                  Am

Now I             worked my way back     home again,

I've been    making extra money playing    high school sock hops
D                         D                                
  I'm a big time guest M-    C
            F                        C                      
You should   hear me talking to the    little children
      D                         B7     B7                       
And    listen what they say to     me 
        Em                       Em                          
I Got a    spot on the top of my    head, 
      D                         D                          
just   begging for a new toupee 
      F                      C                             
And a    tire on my gut from    sitting on my butt
             D                   Em      Em                     
But they're    never gonna go a-    way 

Em                     C                                    
  Sometimes I get this   crazy dream 
        D                       G                          
That I     just drive off in my    car
            Em               C                              
But you can    travel on ten    thousand miles 
      D                    Am                                
and    till say where you     are
G                         C                                 
  thinking that I should    stop disk jockeying 
     D                   Em                                
And    start that record     store
F                C                                          
  Maybe I could    settle down 
         D                  Em                            
if you'd   take me back once    more
