Take it away, wanna hear you play 'Til the lights go 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 Take it away, don't you wanna stay 'Til there's no one else around? Lonely driver out on the road 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? Mm-mm 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 Oh-oh 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 ya (You never know who may be listening to ya) You never know who may be listening to ya 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 (is complete, is complete, is complete)
