Version 1 of the lyrics

1  She was standing at the load-in                    Now                    the seats are all empty 1
2  When the trucks rolled up          Let the roadies take the stage 2
3  She was sniffing all around             Pack it up and tear it down 3
4  Like a half grown female pup                    They're the first to come and last to leave 4
5  She wasn't hard to talk to   Working for that minimum wage     5
6  Looked like she had nowhere to go   They'll set it up in another town 6
7  So I gave her a pass   Tonight the people were so fine 7
8  So she could get in and see the show   They waited there      in line                 8
1  And when they got up on their1
2  feet they made the show2
3  And that was sweet--3
4  But I can hear the sound4
5  Of slamming doors and folding chairs5
6  And that's a sound they'll never know6
      
9  Well, I sat her down right next to me   Now roll them cases out and lift them amps 9
10  And I got her a beer                    Haul them trusses down and get'em up them ramps 10
11  While I mixed that sound on stage   'Cause when it comes to moving me 11
12  So            the band could hear   You guys are the champs              12
13  The more I watched her watch them play   But when that last guitar's been packed away 13
14  The less       I thought of to say   You know that I still want to play 14
15  And when they walked off stage                         So just make sure you got it all set to go 15
16  The drummer swept that girl away   Before you come for my piano 16
      
17  But Rosie you're all right, you wear my ring   But the band's on the bus                 17
18  When you hold me tight, Rosie that's my thing   And they're waiting to go                           18
19  When you turn out the light, I've got to hand it to me   We've                                    got to drive all night     19
20  It looks like it's me and you again tonight, Rosie                                       and do a show in Chicago 20
7  or Detroit, I don't know7
8  We do so many shows in a row8
9  And these towns all look the same9
10  We just pass the time in our hotel rooms10
11  And wander 'round backstage11
12  Till those lights come up and we hear that crowd12
13  And we remember why we came13
      
21  Well I guess I might have known from the start   Now we got country and western on       the bus 21
22  She'd come for a star                     R and B, we got disco in eight 22
23  Could have told my imagination not to run too far   tracks and cassettes in stereo                         23
24  Of all the times that I've been burned   We've got rural scenes & magazines               24
25  By now you'd think I'd have learned   We've got truckers on the CB          25
26  That it's who you look like not who you are   We've got Richard Pryor on the video                26
14  We got time to think of the ones we love14
15  While the miles roll away15
16  But the only time that seems too short16
17  Is the time that we get to play17
      
27  But Rosie you're all right, you wear my ring   People you've got the power over what we do 27
28  When you hold me tight, Rosie that's my thing   You can sit there and wait                    28
29  When you turn out the light, I've got to hand it to me   Or you can pull us through                                  29
30  It looks like it's me and you again tonight, Rosie   Come along, sing the song                                   30
31  It looks like it's me and you again tonight          You know                      you can't go wrong 31
32  It looks like it's me and you again tonight, Rosie   'Cause when that morning sun comes beating down                  32
  Rosie, Rosie, Rosie, Rosie   You're going to wake up in your town
18  But we'll be scheduled to appear18
19  A thousand miles away from here19
20  People stay just a little bit longer20
21  We want to play -- just a little bit longer21
22  Now the promoter don't mind22
23  And the union don't mind23
24  If we take a little time24
25  And we leave it all behind and sing25
26  One more song--26
