You've played that song for the seventh night
It's ringing in your brain
Another night - another bar room fight
I can't go on again ...

But each time you think you've had enough
A voice inside you cries
Although the going gets a little rough
You open up your eyes

Keep that show on the road - And you'll be a star
Keep that show on the road - Play that fast guitar
All the way to the top - In your fancy car
Keep that show on the road
'Til you die ...
 

Recording contracts always on your mind
You think you'll win for sure
You often wonder if it's worth the price
Will there be something more ...

Now you hear the man behind the bar
Tell you the night is through
You wonder if you'll ever be a star
There's just one thing to do

Keep that show on the road - and you'll hit the top
Keep that show on the road - don't ever stop
All the way to the top - and you'll never stop
Keep that show on the road
'Til you die ...

Well, come on baby - let's go crazy
Yeah, you want it - that's all right
You know, I'm smiling - oh, you're wild and ...
You know I like it, I like it, I like it
And I'd like YOU tonight ...

But each time you think you've had enough
A voice inside just cries
Although the goin' gets a little rough
Just open up your eyes

Keep that show on the road - and you'll be a star
Keep that show on the road - play that fast guitar
All the way to the top in your fancy car
Keep that show on the road
'Til you die ...
