The curtain goes up as the lights go dim
The opening act takes the stage
The applause is polite
Theyâre not waiting for him
Everybody knows heâs at least twice their age
Took him 2 days to get there
His eyes tired and red
His gear in the back of his way
His car is his dressing room
Office and bed
But at least he got him up here
Sings from his heart
And keeps from cryin
He knows itâs a young manâs game
Heâs makin the reelin while the crowdâs all dyin to hear
The headlinerâs name
And as he continues to play
He can hear the audience say
(Chorus)
Itâs time to go
This ainât no variety show
Weâre sure you was someone
Someone with note
But buddy, itâs time to go
As he packs his things he can hear from the winds
The audience singing along
They know every word
They know every line
And he wonders will he get one
As the stage door closes, goodbye
He sings whatâs been on his mind
(Chorus)
Itâs time to go
This ainât no variety show
Weâre sure you was someone
Someone with note
But buddy, itâs time to go
Oh buddy, itâs time to go
