Take it away, wanna hear you play 'til the lights go down
Take it away, won'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, won't you wanna stay
Ttil there's no one else around

Lonely driver out on the road with the 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, won'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, won't you wanna stay
Til there's no one else around

In the audience watching the show
With the paper in his hand (in his hand, in his hand)
Some 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, won't you wanna stay
Til there's no one else around

There's another, may be listening to you
(There's another, may be listening to you)
You never know who'll be listening to you

Take it away, take it away

After hours, late in the bar by a dark and corner seat
Faded flowers wait in the jar 'til the evening is complete....
