The Roadie Song (Recorded 1974)

Verse
I was sittin’ at home just drinking a beer
Havin’ myself a ball
When I got a call to catch a morning flight
To start the tour in Omaha

Chorus
I’m on the road again
I’m on the road again
41 shows in 42 nights
I’m off again to see the sights
I’m on the road again

Verse
Two o’clock stage call, I’m working all day
To set up the gear for the show
Bright lights, loud rock, tear it down again
Then it’s time to get up and go

Chorus
I’m on the road again
I’m on the road again
Jumped in the truck another twelve hour drive
Lord I don’t know how I’m alive
Good God! I’m on the road again

Guitar Solo

Verse
Ten thousand people came to see the show
Lot’s of pretty girls don’t you know
The band got ‘em all and by the time I was done
They’re all gone and now its time to go

Chorus
I’m on the road again
I’m on the road again
Another motel that I didn’t get to see
And I’m with nobody but me
I’m on the road again
I’m on the road again

‘Cause I’m a Rock & Roll Roadie
Doin’ the best I can
But no one even knows who I am
So I’m on the road again
I’m on the road again

Hey! Who’s the Promoter here?
I’m on the road again

Does this place have any stage hands?
I’m on the road again

Hey! Where’s my T-Shirt
I’m on the road again

Who’s got our food money?
I’m on the road again

Hey Ginger, when do I get paid?
I’m on the road again

What do you mean 700 miles to the next gig?
I’m on the road again

When are we supposed to sleep?
I’m on the road again

Aw, somebody take me home
I’m on the road again
