Turn The Page

Written By Bob Seger

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

See 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

There I go
