Take It Away Lyrics

(+ bass and keyboard)
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
CHORUS (full band)
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' 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 (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
MIDDLE 8
You never know who may be listening to you
(You never know who may be listening to you)
You never know who may be listening to ya - a - a - aaaaah
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, complete, complete ...)
