Stay Lyrics

[Verse 1: Jackson Browne]
People stay just a little bit longer
We wanna play just a little bit longer
Now the promoter don't mind
And the union don't mind
If we take a little time
And we leave it all behind and sing
One more song

[Verse 2: Rosemary Butler]
Oh won't you stay just a little bit longer
Please, please, please, say you will
Say you will

[Verse 3: Jackson Browne & David Lindley]
Oh won’t you stay just a little bit longer
Oh please please stay just a little bit more

Now the promoter don’t mind
And the roadies don’t mind
If we take a little time
And we leave this all behind and sing
One more song

[Outro]
And thank you all again.
