Bob Seger is a genius
« on: July 20, 2009, 12:35:58 PM »
Riding the other two wheeler this morning (bicycle) and had the road tunes play list on when Bob Seger came on with "Roll Me Away". Sometimes a tune just strikes you, you tear up and your mind knows that's what it needed to hear. The lyrics are so true they hurt. Thought I would share them with the brotherhood of the road;

Words and music by Bob Seger

Took a look down a westbound road,
Right away I made my choice
Headed out to my big two-wheeler,
I was tired of my own voice
Took a bead on the northern plains
And just rolled that power on

Twelve hours out of Mackinaw City
Stopped in a bar to have a brew
Met a girl and we had a few drinks
And I told her what I'd decided to do
She looked out the window a long long moment
Then she looked into my eyes
She didn't have to say a thing,
I knew what she was thinkin'

Roll, roll me away,
Won't you roll me away tonight
I too am lost, I feel double-crossed
And I'm sick of what's wrong and what's right
We never even said a word,
We just walked out and got on that bike
And we rolled
And we rolled clean out
of sight

We rolled across the high plains
Deep into the mountains
Felt so good to me
Finally feelin' free

Somewhere along a high road
The air began to turn cold
She said she missed her home
I headed on alone

Stood alone on a mountain top,
Starin' out at the great divide
I could go east, I could go west,
It was all up to me to decide
Just then I saw a young hawk flyin'
And my soul began to rise
And pretty soon
My heart was singin'

Roll, roll me away,
I'm gonna roll me away tonight
Gotta keep rollin', gotta keep ridin',
Keep searchin' 'til I find what's right
And as the sunset faded
I spoke to the faintest first starlight
And I said next time
Next time
We'll get it right

I have always thought that "Roll Me Away" was the best riding song around.  Just my opinion of course.

I down loaded the song on my Ipod and went out for a ride. Can't get the song out of my head. I guess....I will just have to ride it out.

Axel,

    He may have been on a Honda in the '80's, but on his latest CD cover he's on a Harley.
