Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Take it away
Want to hear you play till the lights go down
Take it away
Don't you want to stay till there's no one else around?
[Verse 2]
Take it away
Want to hear you play till the lights go down
Take it away
Don't you want to stay till there's no one else around?
[Verse 3]
Lonely driver out on the road
With a hundred miles to go
Sole survivor carrying the load
Switches on his radio
[Verse 4]
Take it away
Want to hear you play till the lights go down (Down, down)
Take it away
Don't you want to stay till there's no one else around?
[Verse 5]
Take it away
Want to hear you play till the lights go down (Down, down)
Take it away
Don't you want to stay till there's no one else around?
[Verse 6]
In the audience, watching the show
With the paper in his hand (In his hand, in his hand)
Some important impresario
Has a message for the band, oh
[Verse 7]
Take it away
Want to hear you play till the lights go down(Down, down)
Take it away
Don't you want to stay till there's no one else around?
[Verse 8]
You never know who may be listening to you
(Never know who may be listening to you)
You never know who may be listening to you
[Verse 9]
Take it away
Take it away
[Verse 10]
After hours, late in the bar
By a darkened corner seat
Faded flowers wait in the jar
Till the evening is complete
