With a hundred miles to go
Sole survivor, carryin' a 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
(Down, 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
(You never know who may be listening to you)
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, wade in the jar
'Til the evening is complete
