Karaoke Forums

Okay, feel kinda dumb asking this, but I've heard this song on the radio occasionally over the years, and I would love to add it to my karaoke collection, but I'm not sure who sings this version or the exact title.

It starts out with a guy on a piano (If I remember correctly) slowly singing to a live audience, and them after a while he jumps into Maurice Williams' song "Stay". Haven't heard it in a long time, but I like the way that song is done.

Please excuse my ignorance, but I've never heard it sung on karaoke and would looove to know what company makes it and the song & artist info about it. Thanks!

Might be Jackson Browne, "Wont you staaaaaaaay just a little bit longer. If the promoter dont mind, and the union dont mind, wont you take a little time, play it one more time, ONE MOOOOOOORE SONG.

Is that it??

Backstage

The first Part of the Song Is Called " The Load Out Song" He wrote it for his Roadies. Then he goes into Stay.

The Load Out Song ;

Now the seats are all empty
Let the roadies take the stage
Pack it up and tear it down
They're the first to come and last to leave
Working for that minimum wage
They'll set it up in another town
Tonight the people were so fine
They waited there in line
And when they got up on their feet they made the show
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
Now roll them cases out and lift them amps
Haul them trusses down and get'em up them ramps
'Cause when it comes to moving me
You guys are the champs
But when that last guitar's been packed away
You know that I still want to play
So just make sure you got it all set to go
Before you come for my piano
But the band's on the bus
And they're waiting to go
We've got to drive all night and do a show in Chicago
or Detroit, I don't know
We do so many shows in a row
And these towns all look the same
We just pass the time in our hotel rooms
And wander 'round backstage
Till those lights come up and we hear that crowd
And we remember why we came
Now we got country and western on the bus
R and B, we got disco in eight tracks and cassettes in stereo
We've got rural scenes & magazines
We've got truckers on the CB
We've got Richard Pryor on the video
We got time to think of the ones we love
While the miles roll away
But the only time that seems too short
Is the time that we get to play
People you've got the power over what we do
You can sit there and wait
Or you can pull us through
Come along, sing the song
You know you can't go wrong
'Cause when that morning sun comes beating down
You're going to wake up in your town
But we'll be scheduled to appear
A thousand miles away from here

Thanks y'all! "The Load Out Song" part was what was throwing me off. See if I can dig up a Backstage sample somewhere. Thanks again.
