[audience]

Take it away, wanna hear you play

'Til the lights go down

Take it away, don't you wanna stay

'Til there's no one else around



Lonely driver out on the road

With a hundred miles to go

Sole survivor, carrying the load

Switches on his radio



Take it away, wanna hear you play

'Til the lights go down

(Down, down)

Take it away, don't you wanna stay

'Til there's no one else around



Take it away, wanna hear you play

'Til the lights go down

Take it away, don't you wanna stay

'Til there's no one else around

In the audience watching the show



With a paper in his hand

(In his hand, in his hand)

Some important impresario

Has a message for the band



Take it away, wanna hear you play

'Til the lights go down

(Down, down)

Take it away, don't you wanna stay

'Til there's no one else around



Never that his baby listening to your

Never that his baby listening to your

Never that his baby listening to your



Take it away, take it away

After hours, late in the bar

By a darkened corner seat

Faded flowers, wade in the jar

'Til the evening is complete
