Let's Get the Show On the Road - Widespread Panic

Let’s get the show on the road

At the curtain take a bow

New Haven just a rendevous to take you to

A lover who was then but never now

And Susan paid the lady

Who called the players' song

Just a figurine of stagehand reveries

I guess up-and-coming can’t be that wrong

Let’s get the show on the road, babe

The spotlight’s on the stage

Somehow it seems that I heard these words before

Did you forget to turn the page?

Just remember what they told you

About how the show goes on

How can you come back if you’ve never been away?

How can you sing without a song?

And today is for sale and it’s all you can afford

Buy your own admission

The whole things got you bored

Well the Lord chooses the good ones

And the bad ones use the Lord

Let’s get the show on the road, babe

Won’t you take a look a round?

It seems so easy climbing to the top

You better know the way back down

I can’t believe you really stumbled

But I always knew you’d fall

It seems so easy to say I knew you when

I’d rather it was not at all

And today is for sale and it’s all you can afford

Buy your own admission

The whole things got you bored

Well the Lord chooses the good ones

And the bad ones use the Lord
