* Piano intro
* Verse 1 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'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 wanna play,
So just make sure you got it all set to go
Before you come for my piano.
* Guitar solo
* Verse 2 But the band's on the bus
And they're waiting to go.
We've gotta 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
'Til those lights come up and we hear that crowd
And we remember why we came.
* Keyboard solo
* Verse 3 Now we got country and western on the bus, R&B.
We got disco in eight tracks and cassettes in stereo.
We've got rural scenes & magazines.
We've got truckers on CB
And 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 you can't go wrong,
'Cause when that morning sun comes beating down,
You're gonna 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 wanna 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.
* Guitar solo
Oh, won't you stay just a little bit longer.
Oh, please, please stay just a little bit more.
Ay-yo-ay-yo-ay.
Now the promoter don't mind
And the roadies don't mind
If we take a little time and leave this all behind and sing
One more song.
