Jackson Browne - Stay Load Out Lyrics

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 the 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 ramps
Cause when it comes to moving me
You know, you guys are the champs

But when that last guitar's been packed away
You know that I still wanna play
So just make sure you got it all set to go
Before you come for this piano

But the band's on the bus
And they're waiting to go
We've got to drive all night and do a show in chicago

Or 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 around 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

And we've got rural scenes & magazines
We've got truckers on the cb
We've got richard pryor on the video

And 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 that you can't go wrong
Cause when that morning Sun comes beating down
You're going to wake up in your town
But we'll 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

I want you stay, just a little bit longer
Please, please say that you will
Say you will

I want you stay, just a little bit longer
Ooh, won’t stay, just a little bit longer

And if the promoter don’t mind
And the roadies don't mind
If we take a little time
And we leave it all behind and sing
One more song
