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, carrying the 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
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

Never that his baby listening to your
Never that his baby listening to your
Never that his baby listening to your

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
