AARON NEVILLE - THE ROADIE SONG lyrics

(Aaron Neville)

You know night after night these guys are setting up, hooking up,

climbing past the sky. They don't really get no praise,

so I wrote this song in honor of them,

cuz without them there'd be no show.

So get a roadie song, after all he ain't no bum

Give a roadie a hand, he's really part of the band

Get a roadie, get a roadie, get a roadie song

Them speakers weigh a ton

His work is never done

So get a roadie, get a roadie, get a roadie song

Got a mighty long ways to travel

He's gotta cover many miles of gravel

He's gotta long long ways to go

And if he don't make it, there ain't gonna be no show

So give the roadie, give the roadie, give the roadie song

He climbed to kingdom Come

He's up to see the sun

Get a roadie, get a roadie, get a roadie song

He's got a mighty long ways to travel

He's gotta cover many miles of gravel

He's gotta long long ways to go

And if he don't make it, there ain't gonna be no show

Get a roadie, get a roadie, get a roadie song, after all he ain't no bum

And get a roadie a hand, he's really part of the band

Give the roadie, give the roadie, give the roadie, give the roadie, give the roadie song

Get a roadie, get a roadie, get a roadie, get a roadie, get a roadie song

Give the roadie, give the roadie, give the roadie, give the roadie, give a roadie song

Give the roadie, give the roadie, give the roadie, give the roadie, give a roadie song
