Lyrics
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 the last to leave Working for that minimum wage They're setting up in another town Tonight the people were so fine They waited there in line And when they got up on their feet And made the show, and that was sweet And here the sound of slamming doors and folding chairs And that's a sound they'll never know
And load those cases and load those amps And haul those truses up and get'um up those ramps And when it comes to moving me You know you guys are the champs But when that last guitar has 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 is on the bus And they're ready to go We got to drive all night And do the 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 the hotel rooms And wander around backstage Till those lights come up, and we hear that crowd And remember why we came
Now we got country and western on the bus, r & b We got disco And 8-tracks and casettes and stereo We've got worl scenes and magazines And we've got truckers on cb We got richard pryor on video We've got time to think of the ones we love While the miles roll away But the only time that seems to short is the time that we get to play People you got the power over what we do Or you can sit there and wait Or you can come with us too Come along, sing this song You know that you can't go wrong 'Cause when that mornin' sun comes beating down You're gonna wake up in your town And 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 stay just a little bit more
Now the promoter don't mind And the roadies don't mind If we take a little time And we leave this all behind and sing One more song
