'So what will you do when you get lonely ...'

"Duane told listeners how to tell who played what: Eric played the Fender parts and Duane played the Gibson parts. He continued by noting that the Fender had a sparklier sound, while the Gibson produced more of a "full-tilt screech"

Smokey Duane Allman
playing slide guitar
and even Eric was between
'cause there was no Layla there

Eric wanted her to be
and he picked his heart out
but Duane slid through the myth
Slide, slide, slide, Layla

She had Eric on his knees
Duane was sliding on by
Eric was stuck on the Fender
Duane's Gibson was slipping by

When it breaks it breaks
and the piano knocks out
the guitars and Duane
is in the background

Duane is going to die
this is the last riff
he may ever play
and he's slipping back in

You can't not want that
to be so wonderful
that his motorcycle death
can never erase those riffs

"So what will you do when you get lonely
& nobody's waiting by your side?"
Maybe you'll remember once
hearing Duane slippin' on the slide

more people and less people

more people and less people
and more people say
you can't get less people
unless you give'em away

less people say more people
that's not the point
you can't get more people
into this joint

more people want less people
to stay on the chalk
less people smoking
and more people talk

less people say more people
are not all that hot
more people say less people
aren't worth squat

you can go to the boards
and play slide guitar
but you'll never be more
than the less that you are
