Song - Last American DJ

B.B. told us why he sings the blues
Don and Glenn were after the thrill is gone
All we hear is radio goo goo
Jim said he’s gotta say “I love you” in a song

Billy the Kid shared a drink called Loneliness
John, Paul and Dave tipped the Piano Man
Sat on a roof and kicked off the moss, I guess
While the sun was kind to the Rocket Man

Last American D.J.
Don’tcha know you gotta play
One of those songs about one of those songs
That can’t go wrong
Gimme a Marshall Tucker flute
Gimme an Outlaws bass feel
Gimme a B.J. Thomas beaute
Gimme Skynyrd shouting back to Neil
Last American D.J.
Don’t’cha know you gotta play
One of those songs about one of those songs
That can’t go wrong

They took the credit for your second symphony
Donna heard it on the radio
“Bands with a million styles,” said Huey
Wall of Voodoo on Mexican Radio 

“Put on a little Dylan,” said Hootie
Bruce said he’s lonely like Roy cried
“I write the songs,” said Barry
But that was written by another guy 

Last American D.J.
Don’tcha know you gotta play
One of those songs about one of those songs
That can’t go wrong
Gimme a Marshall Tucker flute
Gimme an Outlaws bass feel
Gimme a B.J. Thomas beaute
Gimme Skynyrd shouting back to Neil
Last American D.J.
Don’t’cha know you gotta play
One of those songs about one of those songs
That can’t go wrong

Somebody turned around and shouted
There goes another love song
Sing with me, sing for year
Somebody done somebody wrong
Somebody turned around and shouted

Little Runaway by Del and Tom

Just an old fashioned love song

Somebody done somebody wrong

Last American D.J.
Don’tcha know you gotta play
One of those songs about one of those songs
That can’t go wrong
Gimme a Marshall Tucker flute
Gimme an Outlaws bass feel
Gimme a B.J. Thomas beaute
Gimme Skynyrd shouting back to Neil
Last American D.J.
