"Roll Me Away"

By Bob Seger

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 or 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' till 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
