Wednesday, November 6, 2024: Bob Seger - Roll Me Away


Took a look down a westbound roadRight away I made my choiceHeaded out to my big two-wheelerI was tired of my own voiceTook a bead on the northern plainsAnd just rolled that power on
 
12 hours out of Mackinac CityStopped in a bar to have a brewMet a girl and we had a few drinksAnd I told her what I'd decided to do
 
She looked out the window a long, long momentThen she looked into my eyesShe didn't have to say a thingI knew what she was thinkin'
 
Roll, roll me awayWon't you roll me away tonightI, too, am lost, I feel double-crossedAnd I'm sick of what's wrong and what's rightWe never even said a wordWe just walked out and got on that bikeAnd we rolledAnd we rolled clean out of sight
 
We rolled across the high plainsDeep into the mountainsFelt so good to meFinally, feelin' free
 
Somewhere along a high roadThe air began to turn coldShe said she missed her homeI headed on alone, oh, oh
 
Stood alone on a mountain topStarin' out at the Great DivideI could go east, I could go westIt was all up to me to decideJust then I saw a young hawk flyin'And my soul began to riseAnd pretty soonMy heart was singin'
 
Roll, roll me awayI'm gonna roll me away tonightGotta keep rollin', gotta keep ridin'Keep searchin' 'til I find what's rightAnd as the sunset faded I spoke to the faintest first starlightAnd I said next timeNext timeWe'll get it right
 
Roll me away
Roll me away
Come on
Roll me away
