Now the seats are all empty
Let the roadies take the stage
Pack it up and tear it down
They're the first to come and last to leave
Working for that minimum wage
They'll set it up in another town
Tonight the people were so fine
They waited there in line
And when they got up on their feet they made the show
And that was sweet--
But I can hear the sound
Of slamming doors and folding chairs
And that's a sound they'll never know
Now roll them cases out and lift them amps
Haul them trusses down and get'em up them rampscause when it comes to moving me
You know you guys are the champs
But when that last guitars been packed away
You know that I still want to play
So just make sure you got it all set to go
Before you come for my piano
But the bands on the bus
And they're waiting to go
We've got to drive all night and do a show in ChicagoOr Detroit, I don't know
We do so many shows in a row
And these towns all look the same
We just pass the time in our hotel rooms
And wander round backstage
Till those lights come up and we hear that crowd
And we remember why we came
Now we got country and western on the bus
R and b, we got disco in eight tracks and cassettes in stereo
We've got rural scenes & magazines
We've got truckers on the CBWe've got Richard Pryor on the video
We got time to think of the ones we love
While the miles roll away
But the only time that seems too short
Is the time that we get to play
People you've got the power over what we do
You can sit there and wait
Or you can pull us through
Come along, sing the song
You know you can't go wrongcause when that morning sun comes beating down
You're going to wake up in your town
But well be scheduled to appear
A thousand miles away from here
People stay just a little bit longer
We want to play -- just a little bit longer
Now the promoter don't mind
And the union don't mind
If we take a little time
And we leave it all behind and sing
One more song--
Oh won't you stay just a little bit longer Please Please Please Say you will Say you will
Jackson Browne, all'anagrafe Clyde Jackson Browne, è un cantautore statunitense nato a Los Angeles nel 1948. Considerato uno dei pilastri della musica folk-rock americana degli anni '70 e '80, Browne ha conquistato il pubblico con la sua scrittura introspettiva e le melodie evocative. La sua carriera musicale è iniziata negli anni '60 come membro di gruppi locali prima di emergere come solista nel 1972 con l'album d'esordio "Jackson Browne". Il suo successo è stato consacrato da album come "For Everyman" (1973), "The Pretender" (1976) e "Running on Empty" (1979), che hanno generato hit come "These Days", "Take It Easy", "Somebody's Baby" e "Running on Empty".
