    Turn The Page lyrics

    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

this really is an awesome song. Metallica does a good cover of it (KR has song it with them before)--the lead singer [of Metallica] said in the liner notes to that album that he had never heard it before and it came on the radio while he was driving and it blew him way so much that he had to pull over. Metallica's musical style is so different than Seger's that the fact that Metallica would cover it always struck me as a particularly significant homage, and a sign of the brilliance of both the song and Seger.

This was our HS class song. Just announced he's going on tour.

One of the greatest songs ever written!
