Roadies’ Song

Lyrics

[Verse 1] An empty space, a cold dark room You say hello and look for food The coffee's strong to get you there The clock is ticking, no time to spare Rig the lights, build the sound Run the cables, check the ground [Pre-Chorus] Haul the gear, set the stage It's never easy to earn our wage [Chorus] Sixteen beds inside the bus Step inside, be one of us A roadie's life is what we choose And the wheels keep rolling on [Verse 2] Seven nights, seven days Hauling gear, this is your way Another town, it never stops Keep moving on till you're fit to drop We fall asleep to the sound of the road On through the night we move the load [Pre-Chorus] We're like a family with ups and downs But in the end, it all calms down [Chorus] Sixteen beds inside the bus Step inside, be one of us A roadie's life is what we choose And the wheels keep rolling on [Guitar Solo] [Verse 3] A gypsy's way is what they choose Not for all but a chosen few They sacrifice a normal life To tour the world with no end in sight [Pre-Chorus] They live their life to keep the faith And get the band up on the stage Move the gear, rig the lights Check the sound, this is their life [Chorus] Sixteen beds inside the bus It's where we live, be one of us A roadie's life is what we choose And the wheels keep rolling on A roadie's life is what they choose And the wheels keep rolling on
