Let's Get The Show On The Road Lyrics - Widespread Panic

Let's get the show on the road 

At the curtain take a bow 

New Haven just a rendezvous 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
