I’m sitting here in the hotel lobby staring out into the open air

Looking at the entertainer tour buses loading up the band out there

We all seem to think the life of being on the stage playing music every night

Is such a life of luxury and fun being there under the bright stage lights

But the reality is these people that choose that as their life career

Are on the road traveling from show to show with their family no where near

They load up the bus and head out of town to play show after show

And after the show is over and lights go out it’s on the road again they go

They sleep in a bunk traveling at highway speed and will put on another great show tomorrow night

And they live this grueling lifestyle just for the entertainment of you and I

So the next time you buy a ticket to see the act or show that you really like

Remember they are missing their family affairs that are happening at their own house tonight

From My World to Yours,
Bob Baker
