Lyrics

[Intro]
[Radio static and frequency tuning sounds]
Goddamn it, not another one...
WKRC, what's your fuckin' request?
[Verse 1]
Sittin' in this booth since '99
Played Merle, played Willie, life was mighty fine
But lately every time this phone rings
Makes me wanna throw this mic and other things
These kids keep callin', drivin' me insane
With their high-pitched voices, know 'em all by name
"Can you play that song about the ex-boyfriend?"
Nah girl, this here's country - comprehend?
[Chorus]
These ain't country calls comin' in tonight
(Not country at all)
Got teens blowin' up my request line
(Fuckin' request line)
They want their pop star princess shit to play
But this old DJ just ain't built that way
No ma'am, not today
[Post-chorus]
Not today, hell no
Not on my radio
Not today, fuck no
This ain't that kinda show
[Verse 2]
Station manager's breathin' down my neck
Says ratings dropped, might get my ass checked
"Just play what they want," man, kiss my ass
I ain't traded my boots for no wine glass
Got thirteen year olds in their momma's car
Screamin' 'bout some chick who dates every star
My daughter's just the same, it breaks my heart
She covered up my Cash poster with that chart-toppin' tart
[Chorus]
These ain't country calls comin' in tonight
(Not country at all)
Got teens blowin' up my request line
(Fuckin' request line)
They want their pop star princess shit to play
But this old DJ just ain't built that way
No ma'am, not today
[Verse 3]
Another Friday night in radio hell
Phone's lit up like a damn cartel
"Play that song about the scarf she lost!"
Girl, you're makin' my blood pressure cost
Twenty years spinnin' these country tracks
Now they want me mixin' pop with my Johnny Cash
My boss says adapt or hit the road
But I'd rather die than play that episode
[Chorus]
These ain't country calls comin' in tonight
(Not country at all)
Got teens blowin' up my request line
(Fuckin' request line)
They want their pop star princess shit to play
But this old DJ just ain't built that way
No ma'am, not today
[Outro]
[Radio static]
WKRC... where country... used to be... fuck it, I quit.
