Harry Connick, Jr. - Time To Go lyrics

The curtain goes up as the lights go dim The opening act takes the stage The applause is polite They're not waiting for him Everybody knows he's 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 it's a young man's game He's makin the reelin while the crowd's all dyin to hear The headliner's name And as he continues to play He can hear the audience say [Chorus:] It's time to go This ain't no variety show We're sure you was someone Someone with note But buddy, it's 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 what's been on his mind [Chorus:] It's time to go This ain't no variety show We're sure you was someone Someone with note But buddy, it's time to go Oh buddy, it's time to go
