Browne Jackson Running On Empty STAY (spoken) I抎 like to do a song I抳e never played in public before It抯 a brand new song It抯 sort of a tribute to friends of mine that come out here on the road And to you, too... Now the seats are all empty Let the roadies take the stage Pack it up, tear it down, they抮e the first to come and the last to leave Working for that minimum wage They抣l 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 I can hear the sound of slamming doors and folding chairs That抯 a sound they抣l never know Roll them cases out and lift them amps Haul them trusses down and get 慹m up them ramps When it comes to moving me, You know you guys are the champs But when that last guitar抯 been packed away You know that I still wanna play So make sure you抳e got it all set to go Before you come for my piano But the band抯 on the bus And they抮e waiting to go Gotta drive all night and do the show in Chicago Or Detroit I don抰 know We do so many shows in a row And these towns all look the same We just pass the time in the hotel room And wander round backstage Til those lights come up And we hear that crowd And we remember why we came Now we抳e got country and western on the bus R&B We got disco on eight tracks and cassettes in stereo And we got rural scenes and magazines And we got truckers on CB And we got Richard Pryor on the video We got time to think of the ones we love While the miles roll away The only time that seems too short Is the time that we get to play People, you got the power over what we do You can sit there and wait or you can pull us through So come along, sing this song, You know that you can抰 go wrong Cause when that morning sun comes beating down You抮e gonna wake up in your town But we抣l 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-- |
