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 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 wooing 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 passed 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 western on the bus, we got disco
And a-tracks and casettes
We've got and magazines
And we've got truckers on cd
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 for what we do
Or you can sit there and wait
Or you can too
On the long, sing this song
You know that you can't go wrong
'Cause when that golden 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
