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 carry 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

You never know who
May be listening to you
Never know who
May be listening to you
Never know who
May be listening to you

Take it away
Take it away

After hours
late in the bar
by a darkened corner seat
faded flowers
wait in the jar
'til the evening is complete
