(PART 1 ON YOUR WAY)
|
Nazareth
|
|
Sent a telegram today
|
Tomorrow you¡¯ll be on your way
|
Could be Memphis or L.A.
|
No questions just get out and play.
|
|
Wake up call to catch the plane
|
You know you¡¯re on the road again
|
Someone¡¯s bangin¡¯ in your head
|
Why did you get so late to bed.
|
Runnin¡¯ late and feelin¡¯ bad
|
That breakfast was the worst you¡¯ve had
|
Make the gate no time to spare
|
Before you know you¡¯re in the air.
|
|
747 flies us high
|
Much higher than we¡¯re meant to be
|
You¡¯re six miles high but feelin¡¯ down
|
You wish you could be on the ground.
|
|
Find your bags and walk for miles
|
The customs man is waitin¡¯ there
|
Immigration cause delay
|
You wonder if you¡¯ll ever play.
|
Limousine is standin¡¯ by
|
We get inside and drive a while
|
F.M. Station soundin¡¯ good
|
And gettin¡¯ better every mile.
|
|
Hotel lobby looks the same
|
With all the same old girls in town
|
|
Press reception takes the day
|
With all the same old things to say
|
Need your picture smile this way
|
And will you tell me what you play
|
|
(PART 2 SO YOU WANNA BE A ROCK¡¯N¡¯ROLL STAR)
|
Roger McGuinn/Chris Hillman (COPYRIGHT 1966 TICKSON MUSIC CO. (BMI)
|
|
So you wanna be a rock'n'roll star
|
Just listen now to what I say
|
Get yourself an electric guitar
|
and take some time and learn to play.
|
|
(PART 3 SOUND CHECK)
|
Nazareth
|
|
Your roadies call to say OK
|
The soundcheck can get underway
|
Soundcheckover, had some fun
|
A waste of time for everyone
|
Time has come to start the show
|
It's boogie time for everyone
|
Check guitars before you go
|
They¡¯re close enough for rock n roll
|
The lights are low,
|
The crowd is high,much higher than
|
They're meant to be
|
We take the stage and start to play
|
The lights come up for all to see
|
|
(PART4 HERE WE ARE AGAIN)
|
Nazareth
|
|
Here we are again, singin' the same old songs
|
Lookin for someone who will sing along
|
Here we are again playin' the same old scenes
|
Lookin'for someone who will share our dreams
|
Here we are again facing the same old sights
|
Lookin' for someone who will share our nights
