TURN THE PAGE~Bob Seger
On a long and lonesome highway
East of Omaha
You can listen to the engine
Moaning out it's one note song
You can think about the woman
you knew the night before
But your thoughts will soon be wondering
The way they always do
And you don't feel much like riding
You just wish the trip was through
Here I am
On the road again
There I am
Up on the stage
Here I go
Turn the page
Well you walk into a restaraunt
Strung out from the road
And you feel the eyes upon you
As you're shaking off the cold
You pretend it doesn't bother you
But you just want to explode
Most times you can't hear them talk,
other times you can,
"Is that a woman or a man?"
And you always seem outnumbered
So you don't dare make a stand
Here I am
On the road again
There I am
Up on the stage
Here I go
Playing star again
There I go
Turn the page
Out there in the spotlight
You're a million miles away
Every ounce of energy
You try to give away
As the sweat pours out your body
Like the music that you play
Later in the evening
as you lie awake in bed
With the echos from the amplifiers
ringing in your head
You smoke the day's last cigarette
Remembering what she said
Here I am
On the road again
There I am
Up on the stage
Here I go
Playing the star again
There I go
Turn the page.
