Bob Seger- Turn the Page

[Swede]

On a long and lonesome highway
East of Omaha
You can listen to the engine
Moanin' out his one note song
You can think about the woman
Or the girl you knew the night before
But your thoughts will soon be wandering
The way they always do
When you're ridin' sixteen hours
And there's nothin' much to do
And you don't feel much like ridin',
You just wish the trip was through

Here I am
On the road again
There I am
Up on the stage
Here I go
Playin' star again
There I go
Turn the page

Well you walk into a restaurant,
Strung out from the road
And you feel the eyes upon you
As you're shakin' off the cold
You pretend it doesn't bother you
But you just want to explode

Most times you can't hear 'em talk,
Other times you can
All the same old cliches,
"Is that a woman or a man?"
And you always seem outnumbered,
You don't dare make a stand

Here I am
On the road again
There I am
Up on the stage
Here I go
Playin' 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 echoes from the amplifiers
Ringin' in your head
You smoke the day's last cigarette,
Rememberin' what she said

Here I am
On the road again
There I am
Up on the stage
Here I go
Playin' star again
There I go
Turn the page
Here I am
On the road again
There I am
Up on the stage
Here I go
Playin' star again
There I go
Turn the page
There I go
There I go

1. Love the song!

It's one of my favorites.

2. One of my top few answers the "what remakes are as good as or better than the original?"

[EvolveOrConvolve]

4. The video is really good, too

It shows a day in the life of a woman with a daughter and how she has to strip and hook to support her kid. Chilling...

3. Like DLR said, Rock stars singing about how hard they have it.

5. Ha! But it's about low-grade rockstars.

The kind who take the bus to their gigs, get ripped off more often than paid, and never stay in the same place more than a night.

Yeah, it still beats bookkeeping, doesn't it? :rofl:

6. Great song!

I'm not really a fan of Seger but I love that song.
