Take It Away

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
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
