Take it away
Want to hear you play 'til the lights go down
Take it away
Don’t you want to 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
Want to hear you play ’til the lights go down
Take it away
Don't you want to 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, in his hand)
Some important impresario
Has a message for the band

Take it away
Don't you want to stay 'til there's no one else around?
Take it away
Want to hear you play 'til the lights go down
Take it away
Don’t you want to stay ’til there's no one else around?
After hours late in the bar
By a darkened corner seat
Two more customers from a car
And they request one last beat

Take it away
Don’t you want to play 'til the lights go down?
Take it away
Want to hear you stay 'til there's no one else around
Take it away

Lonely driver out on the road
With a hundred miles to go
Sole survivor bearing the load
Switches on his radio

Take it away
Want to hear you play ’til the lights go down
Take it away
Don't you want to stay 'til there's no one else around?
Take it away
I hear you play 'til the lights go down
Take it away
Don't you want to stay 'til there's no one else around?

Take it away
Want to hear you play 'til the lights go down
Take it away
Don't you want to stay 'til there's no one else around?
Take it away
Want to hear you play 'til the lights go down
Yeah, take it away
Don't you want to stay 'til there's no one else around?
In the audience, watching the show
