"Roadie Man" lyrics - THE PRETENDERS

I'm in love with a man
He's in love with the road
It's no surprise, it's a riddle
Road is wide place, shaking feeling
To the razzle dazzle on the stage
She has to be a widow in a siege

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

Christmastime 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 nothing, don't require a fuss
Vow of silence is the code
That keeps the backland on the road
Whatever happens, happens, it has to be
Don't rely on domesticity

Roadie man
Picking 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
