1	She was standing at the load-in						****Rosie**** (Jackson Browne)	1
2	When                                        the trucks rolled up						She was standing at the load-in when the trucks rolled up	2
3	She was sniffing all around						She was sniffing all around like a half-grown female pup	3
4	Like a half grown female pup						She wasn't hard to talk to, looked like she had nowhere to go	4
5	She wasn't hard                                        to talk to						So I gave her a pass so she could get in to see the show.	5
6	Looked like she had nowhere       to go						I sat her down right next to me and I got her a beer	6
7	So I gave her a pass						While I mixed that sound on the stage so the band could hear	7
8	So she could get in and see the show						The more I watched her watch me play,	8
9							the less I thought of to say	9
10	Well, I sat her down right next to me						And when they walked offstage the	10
11	And I got her a beer						drummer swept that girl away.	11
12	While I mixed that sound on stage						Chorus:	12
13	So the band could hear						Rosie, you're all right, you wear my ring	13
14	The more I watched her watch them play						When you hold me tight, Rosie, that's my thing	14
15	The less                        I thought of to say						When you turn out the light I got     to hand it to me	15
16	And when they walked off stage						Looks like it's me and you again tonight, Rosie.	16
17	The drummer swept that girl away						Well, I guess I might have known from the	17
18							start she'd come for a star	18
19	But Rosie you're all right, you wear my ring						But I told                         my imagination not to run too far	19
20	When you hold me tight, Rosie that's my thing						Of all the times that I've been burned,	20
21	When you turn out the light, I've got to hand it to me						by now you'd think I'd learn	21
22	It looks like it's me and you again tonight, Rosie						That              it's who      you look like, not who you are.	22
23							Chorus	23
24	Well I guess I might have known from the start						**** The Load-Out Stay ****	24
25	She'd come for a star						Now the seats are all empty, let the roadies take the stage	25
26	Could have told my imagination not to run too far						Pack it up and tear it down	26
27	Of all the times that I've been burned						They're      the first to come and the last to leave	27
28	By now you'd think I'd have learned						Workin' for that minimum wage	28
29	That it's who you look like not who you are						They'll set it up in another town.	29
30							Tonight the people were so fine, they waited there in line	30
31	But Rosie you're all right, you wear my ring						And then they got up on their feet and made the show.	31
32	When you hold me tight, Rosie that's my thing						And that was sweet, and I can hear the sound	32
33	When you turn out the light, I've got to hand it to me						Of slammin' doors and folding chairs;	33
34	It looks like it's me and you again tonight, Rosie						That's a sound they'll never know.	34
35	It looks like it's me and you again tonight						And roll them cases out and lift them amps	35
36	It looks like it's me and you again tonight, Rosie						Haul them trusses down     and get 'em up those ramps	36
	Rosie, Rosie, Rosie, Rosie						'Cause when it comes to moving me
1							You know you guys are the champs	1
2							But when that last guitar's been packed away	2
3							You know that I still want to play	3
4							So just make sure you've got it all set to go	4
5							Before you come for my piano.	5
6							But the band's on the bus, and they're waiting to go	6
7							We gotta drive all night and do the show in Chicago	7
8							Or Detroit; I don't know, we do so many shows in a row	8
9							And these towns all look the same.	9
10							We just pass the time in the hotel rooms	10
11							And wander 'round back stage	11
12							'Til those lights come up and we hear that crowd	12
13							And we remember why we came.	13
14							Now we got country and western on the bus, [?]	14
15							We got disco, 8-tracks and cassettes and stereo	15
16							And we got rural scenes and magazines	16
17							And we got truckers on c.b.	17
18							We got Richard Pryor on the video	18
19							We got time to think of the ones we love	19
20							While the miles roll away	20
21							The only time that seems too short	21
22							Is the time that we get to play.	22
23							People, you've got the power over what we do;	23
24							You can sit there and wait or you can pull us through.	24
25							Come along, sing the song, you know that you can't go wrong	25
26							'Cause when the morning sun comes beating down	26
27							You're gonna wake up in your town	27
28							But we'll be scheduled to appear	28
29							A thousand miles away from here.	29
30							People, stay just a little bit longer;	30
31							We wanna play just a little bit longer	31
32							Well, the roadie don't mind	32
33							And the union don't mind	33
34							If we take a little time and we leave it all behind	34
35							Sing one more song.	35
36							Oh, won't you stay just a little bit longer	36
37							Please, please, please say you will...	37
