Stay ( live version)

Jackson Browne

Now the seats, are all empty
Let the roadies take the stage
Pack it up and turn it down
They're the first to come and the last to leave
Working for that minimum wage
They're sitting in an another town
Tonight the people were so fine
They waited in a line
And then they got up on their feet
And made it sure

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

Rolling cases out and if their lamps
Holding trustes down and get them on their ramps
Cause when it comes to moving me
You know you guys are the champs
But when the last guitars have 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 my piano

Let the bands on the bars
And I am waiting to go
Got to drive all night
And do the show in Chicago
Or Detroit, I don't know
We do so many shows on the road
And these towns all look the same
We just pass the time in the hotel rooms
And walk around back stage
Till those lights come up
And we hear the crowd
And we remember why we came..!

Instrumental

Now we got
Country & western
R&B
We got disco,
We got this whole
H track in this set scenario

And we got herbal scenes and magazines
And we got troubles on TV
And we got a Joe quire on the video
We got time to think of the ones we love
When the miles role away
But the only time when it seems too short
Is the time we get to play

You got the power of what we do
You can sit there and wait and tell us what to do
Come along sing the song
You know that you can't go wrong

Just when that rodeo sun comes beaten down
You're gonna wake up in your dawn
But we'll be scheduled to appear
A thousand miles away from here

People stay Just a little bit longer
We won't play just a little bit longer
And the motor don't run
And you don't buy
So take a little time and leave it all behind

Oooh- won't you stay just a little bit longer
Please, Say you will
Say you will

Oooh won't you stay just a little bit longer
Please, please
Stay, just a little bit longer

I got the motor don't run
And the roadies don't mind
So take a little time and leave it all behind
Say, one more song..!
