Stay |
| Now the seats are all empty |
| Let the roadies take the stage |
| Pack it up and tear it down |
| They’re the first to come and last to leave |
| Working for that minimum wage |
| They’ll set it up in another town |
| Tonight the people were so fine |
| They waited there in line |
| And when they got up on their feet they made the show |
| And that was sweet |
| But I can hear the sound |
| Of slamming doors and folding chairs |
| And that’s a sound they’ll never know |
| Now roll them cases out and lift them amps |
| Haul them trusses down and get’em up them ramps |
| 'Cause when it comes to moving me |
| You know you guys are the champs |
| But when that last guitar’s been packed away |
| You know that I still want to play |
| So just make sure you got it all set to go |
| Before you come for my piano |
| But the band’s on the bus |
| And they’re waiting to go |
| We’ve got to drive all night and do a show in Chicago |
| Or Detroit, I don’t know |
| We do so many shows in a row |
| And these towns all look the same |
| We just pass the time in our hotel rooms |
| And wander 'round backstage |
| Till those lights come up and we hear that crowd |
| And we remember why we came |
| Now we got country and western on the bus |
| Are and be |
| We got disco in eight tracks and cassettes in stereo |
| We’ve got rural scenes & magazines |
| We’ve got truckers on the CB |
| We’ve got Richard Pryor on the video |
| We got time to think of the ones we love |
| While the miles roll away |
| But the only time that seems too short |
| Is the time that we get to play |
| People you’ve got the power over what we do |
| You can sit there and wait |
| Or you can pull us through |
| Come along, sing the song |
| You know that you can’t go wrong |
| 'Cause when that morning sun comes beating down |
| You’re going to wake up in your town |
| But we’ll be scheduled to appear |
| A thousand miles away from here |
| People stay just a little bit longer |
| We want to play, just a little bit longer |
| Now the promoter don’t mind |
| And the union don’t mind |
| If we take a little time |
| And we leave it all behind and sing |
| One more song |
| Oh won’t you stay |
| Just a little bit longer |
| Please please please, say you will |
| Say you will |
| Oh won’t you stay |
| Just a little bit longer |
| Oh please please please stay |
| Just a little bit long |
| I bet promotors don’t mind |
| And the roadies don’t mind |
| If we take a little time |
| And we leave this all behind |
| Singing one more song |
