[00:33.84]Now the seats are all empty
[00:38.59] Let the roadies take the stage
[00:43.17] Pack it up and tear it down
[00:47.77] They're the first to come and last to leave
[00:52.61] Working for that minimum wage
[00:56.75] They'll set it up in another town
[01:03.61] Tonight the people were so fine
[01:09.30] They waited there in line
[01:13.08] And when they got up on their feet
[01:16.94] They made the show
[01:22.15] And that was sweet
[01:24.27] But I can hear the sound
[01:26.29] Of slamming doors and folding chairs
[01:31.44] And that's a sound they'll never know
[01:38.79] Now roll them cases out and lift them amps
[01:43.69] Haul them trusses down and get 'em up them ramps
[01:47.92] 'Cause when it comes to moving me
[01:51.50] You know, you guys are the champs
[01:56.03] But when that last guitar's been packed away
[02:00.37] You know that I still want to play
[02:05.11] So just make sure you got it all set to go
[02:09.50] Before you come for my piano
[02:46.81] But the band's on the bus
[02:52.35] And they're waiting to go
[02:55.79] We've got to drive all night
[02:59.21] And do a show in Chicago or Detroit, I don't know
[03:09.01] We do so many shows in a row
[03:13.99] And these towns all look the same
[03:18.83] We just pass the time in the hotel rooms
[03:23.37] And wander 'round backstage
[03:27.35] Till those lights come up and we hear that crowd
[03:31.78] And we remember why we came
[04:08.30] Now we got Country and Western on the bus
[04:14.66] R&B, we got Disco in eight tracks and cassettes in stereo
[04:26.65] We've got Rural Scenes and Magazines
[04:30.88] We've got Truckers on the CB
[04:35.02] And we've got Richard Pryor on the video
[04:40.37] We got time to think of the ones we love
[04:44.71] While the miles roll away
[04:49.58] But the only time that seems too short
[04:54.06] Is the time that we get to play
[04:58.34] People you've got the power over what we do
[05:02.74] You can sit there and wait
[05:04.75] Or you can pull us through
[05:07.03] Come along, sing the song
[05:11.36] You know that you can't go wrong
[05:16.21] 'Cause when that morning sun comes beating down
[05:20.29] You're going to wake up in your town
[05:25.53] But we'll be scheduled to appear
[05:29.92] A thousand miles away from here
