Lyrics:
I pulled into Nazareth, was feelin' about half past dead;
I just need some place where I can lay my head.
"Hey, mister, can you tell me where a man might find a bed?"
He just grinned and shook my hand, "No!", was all he said.

(Chorus:)
Take a load off Annie, take a load for free;
Take a load off Annie, And (and) (and) you can put the load right on me.

I picked up my bag, I went lookin' for a place to hide;
When I saw Carmen and the Devil walkin' side by side.
I said, "Hey, Carmen, come on, let's go downtown."
She said, "I gotta go, but m'friend can stick around."

(Chorus)

Go down, Miss Moses, there's nothin' you can say
It's just ol' Luke, and Luke's waitin' on the Judgement Day.

"Well, Luke, my friend, what about young Anna Lee?"
He said, "Do me a favor, son, woncha stay an' keep Anna Lee company?"

(Chorus)

Crazy Chester followed me, and he caught me in the fog.
He said, "I will fix your rack, if you'll take Jack, my dog."
I said, "Wait a minute, Chester, you know I'm a peaceful man."
He said, "That's okay, boy, won't you feed him when you can."

(Chorus)

Catch a cannon ball now, to take me down the line
My bag is sinkin' low and I do believe it's time.
To get back to Miss Fanny, you know she's the only one.
Who sent me here with her regards for everyone.

[TheB0AS]

a classic...

[Cullowee2]

It sure is a classic. The reason I recorded the song was because Brian Fallon said it was going to be special. He said something about his own last waltz As you can see from the above comments not everyone in crowd appreciated. I just wish the stag lighting was better. I was very poor for the entire Gaslight Anthem set.

I'm sorry but there was a group of about 35 of us that went to this show and again, we love Thrice, Alkaline and Rise, Gaslight Anthem is terrible, they were the band that didn't deserve to be on the same bill as the 3 that were, thier music is awful. Right or wrong, I am speaking from the people that I went with and all the people that were standing near us and in line that we spoke to, everyone deserves thier big break but clearly, GA will never be big, they suck worse than a boy band.

[Cullowee2]

lol!

[Grimeyhoob]

Im sorry but Rise Against didnt deserve to headline that tour, Gaslight, THrice and ALkaline Trio are all far far better bands than Rise Against. Rise Against has become such a mediocre band, nothing special, extremely radio-oriented rock with nothing new to offer, theyre forgettable after Siren Song of the Counterculture, thats my opinion, they have ONE formula for songs and thats all they use. Now Rise Against is headlining a tour with Rancid, which is absolutely ridiculous as well.

this was the best show ive ever been to so far. 4 of my favorite bands playing one venue oh my it was amazing. Gaslight put on an intense show. I was dead after thrice played and I had to keep going for trio and rise against. I can honestly say unless they all tour together again i'll never see a show as good as this one was.

[Tonyphase1]

I'd pay to see thrice and gaslight do a co headlining tour. Fuck this concert was so good.

[Tonyphase1]

Perfect. thats it.

[brickwallviewz]

i was so happy i was at this show and it still gives me chills every time i watched it. its like those 3 guys were born to sing the cover of this song

[casmik32]

people here really need to stop pissing about who they liked and didn't like in this lineup (frankly i love all four bands) and start giving props for a heartfelt tribute to one of the most sacrosanct songs in all modern music.

[HailTheGeek]

I think it's your opinion...I have to respect that, BUT Rise Against is...well i don't know whats normal where you live for radio but RA isn't "radio-oriented". You are right if you say that Siren was the best album but actually Rise Against making such beautiful music on the newer albums...except of "Hero Of War"...this is (what you said?) "radio-oriented". But the other songs are at first great punkrock with gorgeous lyrics and a great singer.

[frankthetank930]

i was here! greatest concert ever! thrice took the place down after this then i kinda just watched alkaline trio... then RISE AGAINST!...cant explain the feeling you get in a rise against concert. experience it urself

[AnkitTheAk]

i was there,  i remember this was just awesome, this and Alkaline Trio,Trio=hugh mosh pit, Thrice wasnt bad, Rise Against, the guys voice was shot, couldn't understand anything he was saying

[MaverickSH05]

that was pretty dope
