A story 'bout a pal of mine
Who worked down near the Georgia line
                            G7
As D.J. in a little country station
Everybody loved him dear
'Cause he played what they liked to hear
                                  C
He built himself up quite a reputation
At record hops he stayed out late
And his mom would always wait
                                 G7
To see if he would make it home alive
She warned against his loss of sleep
And driving fast in that old heap
                                 C
And that he had to be to work by five
B.J. the D.J.
                       G7
You're living much too fast
And if you don't change your ways
                      C
Don't see how you can last
Every morning just past four
From the driveway he would roar
                          G7
Overslept and he was late again
Then at breakneck speed he'd drive
To sign the station on at five
                               C
He had lots of records he must spin
His mom sat by the radio
Until his voice told her hello
                                       G7
She knew then that he'd made it there alright
Then she'd say a little prayer
He'd be safe while he was there
                                  C
And she'd wait up for him again tonight
Then one cold and rainy morn'
All four tires were badly worn
                                             G7
But still he scratched off just as fast this time
B.J. had a lot of nerve
But he completely missed the curve
                                       C
And he signed off down near the Georgia line
Mom sat by the radio
The voice she heard she didn't know
                            G7
B.J.'d never been this late before
But with the roads so bad and all
She'd wait a while before she called
                                      C
And then she heard the knock upon the door
B.J. the D.J.
            G7
Only twenty-four
A wreck at ninety miles an hour
                       C
He'll spin the hits no more
