I'm in love with a man
He's in love with the road
It's no surprise, it's a riddle
Wrote his wife "please save me for you"
To the razzle-dazzle on the stage
She has to be a widow and a sage


Roadie man
He's taking music to the people
Anyway he can
Open up the falling stars
He's there to bring the light and sound and power
He's the man who's standing in the tower
He's my long gone, doggone, roadie man


Christmas time is a lonely time
Even when the church bells chime
Hark the herald angels sing blue
What happens on the bus stays on the bus
Don't mean nothin', don't require a fuss
Vow of silence is the code
It keeps the backland on the road
Whatever happens, happens, it has to be
Don't rely on domesticity

Roadie man
He's taking music to the people
Anyway he can
Open up the falling stars
He's there to bring the light and sound and power
He's the man who's standing in the tower
He's my long gone, doggone
He's my gone done, long done
He's my long gone, doggone roadie man


Roadie man
Roadie man
Roadie man
