Now the seats are all empty |
| [00:38.59] |
Let the roadies take the stage |
| [00:43.17] |
Pack it up and tear it down |
| [00:47.77] |
They're the first to come and last to leave |
| [00:52.61] |
Working for that minimum wage |
| [00:56.75] |
They'll set it up in another town |
| [01:03.61] |
Tonight the people were so fine |
| [01:09.30] |
They waited there in line |
| [01:13.08] |
And when they got up on their feet |
| [01:16.94] |
They made the show |
| [01:22.15] |
And that was sweet |
| [01:24.27] |
But I can hear the sound |
| [01:26.29] |
Of slamming doors and folding chairs |
| [01:31.44] |
And that's a sound they'll never know |
| [01:38.79] |
Now roll them cases out and lift them amps |
| [01:43.69] |
Haul them trusses down and get 'em up them ramps |
| [01:47.92] |
'Cause when it comes to moving me |
| [01:51.50] |
You know, you guys are the champs |
| [01:56.03] |
But when that last guitar's been packed away |
| [02:00.37] |
You know that I still want to play |
| [02:05.11] |
So just make sure you got it all set to go |
| [02:09.50] |
Before you come for my piano |
| [02:46.81] |
But the band's on the bus |
| [02:52.35] |
And they're waiting to go |
| [02:55.79] |
We've got to drive all night |
| [02:59.21] |
And do a show in Chicago or Detroit, I don't know |
| [03:09.01] |
We do so many shows in a row |
| [03:13.99] |
And these towns all look the same |
| [03:18.83] |
We just pass the time in the hotel rooms |
| [03:23.37] |
And wander 'round backstage |
| [03:27.35] |
Till those lights come up and we hear that crowd |
| [03:31.78] |
And we remember why we came |
| [04:08.30] |
Now we got Country and Western on the bus |
| [04:14.66] |
R&B, we got Disco in eight tracks and cassettes in stereo |
| [04:26.65] |
We've got Rural Scenes and Magazines |
| [04:30.88] |
We've got Truckers on the CB |
| [04:35.02] |
And we've got Richard Pryor on the video |
| [04:40.37] |
We got time to think of the ones we love |
| [04:44.71] |
While the miles roll away |
| [04:49.58] |
But the only time that seems too short |
| [04:54.06] |
Is the time that we get to play |
| [04:58.34] |
People you've got the power over what we do |
| [05:02.74] |
You can sit there and wait |
| [05:04.75] |
Or you can pull us through |
| [05:07.03] |
Come along, sing the song |
| [05:11.36] |
You know that you can't go wrong |
| [05:16.21] |
'Cause when that morning sun comes beating down |
| [05:20.29] |
You're going to wake up in your town |
| [05:25.53] |
But we'll be scheduled to appear |
| [05:29.92] |
A thousand miles away from here |
