I still remember it was autumn and the moon was shinin'
Our 60 Cadillac was roarin' through Nebraska whinin'
Doin' 120 man the fields was bendin' over
Headin' out for the mountains knowin' we was traveling further
All our fires were blazing and the spinnin' wheels were turnin' turnin'
Had my girl beside me brother.
Brother she was burnin' burnin'
Up walked a Baptist preachin' southern funky school teacher
She had a line on somethin' heavy but we couldn't reach her
We told her that we needed somethin' that would get us goin'
She pulled out all she had and laid it on the counter showin'
All I had to do was lay my money down and pick it up
The cops came dustin' in and then we lit out in our pickup truck go
Get out of Denver better go go
Get out of Denver better go
Get out of Denver better go go
Get out of Denver cause you look just like a commie
And you might just be a member better
Better Get out of Denver
Better Get out of Denver
Well red lights were flashin' and the sirens were a-screamin'
We had to pinch each other just to see if we was dreamin'
Made it to Loveland Pass in under less than half an hour
Lord it started drizzlin' and it turned into a thundershower
The rain was drivin' but the Caddy kept on burnin' rubber
We kept on drivin' till we ran into some fog cover
We couldn't see a thing somehow we just kept on goin'
We kept on drivin' all night long and then into the mornin'fog.
It finally lifted when we looked to see where we was at
We're starin' at a Colorado state policeman trooper cat
And go Get out of Denver he said go go
Get out of Denver better go
Get out of Denver better go go
Get out of Denver cause you look just like a commie
And you might just be a member
Better get out of Denver
Better get out of Denver better go
Oh better better better go
Hey go
Ah better better go go go go
Cause you look just like a commie
And you might just be a member better
Get out of Denver better go!
Let It Rock Lyrics – Bob Seger
In the heat of the day, down in Mobile, Alabama
Workin' on the railroad with a steel drivin' hammer
Tryin' to get some money, get some brand new shoes
Tryin to find a lady, chase away my blues
Hot and wasted sweatin' in the sun
[?] 'till my work is all done
Later in the evening when the sun is sinking low
I'll be out there waitin' for the whistle to blow
Sittin' in the teepee smokin' out on the track
Rollin' them bones till my foreman get back
Suddenly I hear the breakman up and shout
There's a non-stop train runnin' just two miles out
Everybody jumpin' and a screaming around
Tryin to get a line an get the teepee down
Railroad owner's 'bout to go insane
Tryin' to get the workers out the way of the train
Here come the engineer honk his horn
He got a train you got to let it roll on
Let it rock
Let it rock
Let it rock
Let it rock
Rock and roll all night long
Long time ago in Missouri
St. Louis Missouri
Home of the blues
Birth of the blues
Little old Chuck Berry
Chuck used to say:
There she is again over there by the record machine

Too damn cute to be a minute over 13, I believe that
Meanwhile...Ol' Chuck he be thinkin'
She's in the mood, no need to break it

Beautiful Loser Lyrics – Bob Seger
He wants to dream like a young man
With the wisdom of an old man
He wants his home and security
He wants to live like a sailor at sea
Beautiful loser
Where you gonna fall?
When you realize, you just can't have it all
He's your oldest and your best friend
If you need him, he'll be there again
He's always willing to be second-best
A perfect lodger, a perfect guest
Beautiful loser
Read it on the wall
And realize
You just can't have it all
You just can't have it all
You just can't have it all
Ohh, ohh, can't have it all
You can try, you can try, but you can't have it all
oh yeah
He'll never make any enemies, enemies, no
He won't complain if he's caught in a freeze
He'll always ask, he'll always say please
Beautiful loser
Never take it all
'Cause it's easier
And faster when you fall
You just don't need it all
You just don't need it all
You just don't need it all
Just don't need it all
With the wisdom of an old man
He wants his home and security
He wants to live like a sailor at sea
Beautiful loser
Where you gonna fall?
When you realize, you just can't have it all
He's your oldest and your best friend
If you need him, he'll be there again
He's always willing to be second-best
A perfect lodger, a perfect guest
Beautiful loser
Read it on the wall
And realize
You just can't have it all
You just can't have it all
You just can't have it all
Ohh, ohh, can't have it all
You can try, you can try, but you can't have it all
oh yeah
He'll never make any enemies, enemies, no
He won't complain if he's caught in a freeze
He'll always ask, he'll always say please
Beautiful loser
Never take it all
'Cause it's easier
And faster when you fall
You just don't need it all
You just don't need it all
You just don't need it all
Just don't need it all
Black Night Lyrics – Bob Seger
He'll seem to come on with a vengance
You'll think that you've been wasting time
You'll think you've been discussing history
And he'll have left you far behind
Ah, but you must realize he needs you
To keep himself from going blind
And when the black night falls upon you
You'll find it easy to be kind... kind
The stars may shimmer in the black sky
The wind may rustle in the trees
You may be worried he may psych you
You might be praying on your knees
Ah, but when you realize he needs you
And when you finally take some time
The cool black night will fall upon you
You'll find it easy to unwind.
Hey, the moon may ride the misty mountain
You'll wish you never made the climb
But when the black night's finally with you
You'll find it easy to be kind
You'll find it easy to unwind
You'll find it easy to be blind
You'll think that you've been wasting time
You'll think you've been discussing history
And he'll have left you far behind
Ah, but you must realize he needs you
To keep himself from going blind
And when the black night falls upon you
You'll find it easy to be kind... kind
The stars may shimmer in the black sky
The wind may rustle in the trees
You may be worried he may psych you
You might be praying on your knees
Ah, but when you realize he needs you
And when you finally take some time
The cool black night will fall upon you
You'll find it easy to unwind.
Hey, the moon may ride the misty mountain
You'll wish you never made the climb
But when the black night's finally with you
You'll find it easy to be kind
You'll find it easy to unwind
You'll find it easy to be blind
Katmandu Lyrics – Bob Seger
I think I'm goin' to Katmandu,
That's really really where I'm going to
If I ever get out of here
That's what I'm gonna do
Kkkkkk, Katmandu
I think it's really where I'm going to
If I ever get out of here
I'm goin to Katmandu
I got no kick against the west coast,
Warner Brothers are such good hosts
I raise my whiskey glass, and give 'em a toast,
I'm sure they know it's true
I got no rap against the southern states
Every time I've been there it's been great
But now I'm leavin' and I can't be late
And to myself be true
That's where I'm goin to Katmandu
Up to the mountains where I'm going to
If I ever get out of here
That's what I'm gonna do
I got no quarrel with the midwest
The folks out there have given me their best
I lived there all my life I've been their guest
I sure have loved it too
I'm tired of lookin' at the tv news
I'm tired of drivin' hard and payin' dues
I figure baby I've got nothing to lose
I'm tired of being blue
That's why I'm goin to Katmandu
Up to the mountains where I'm going to
If I ever get out of here
That's what I'm gonna do
Kkkkkk, Katmandu
Take me baby cause I'm goin' with you
If I ever get out of here
I'm goin to Katmandu
I ain't got nothin' against the east coast
You want some people well they got the most
And New York City's like a friendly ghost
You seem to pass right through
I know I'm gonna miss the USA
I guess I'll miss it every single day
But no one loves me here anyway
I know my plane is due
The one that's goin to Katmandu
Up to the mountains where I'm going to
If I ever get out of here
That's what I'm gonna do
Kkkkkk, Katmandu
Really really really I'm going to
If I ever get out of here
If I ever get out of here
If I ever get out of here
I'm goin to Katmandu
Ooh ooh ooh, ooh yeah
Katmandu

Jody Girl Lyrics – Bob Seger
Jody Girl, Jody Girl, Spend your time today
Watchin' clocks, spin the hours away
Jody girl, you know the world
Goin' round all day
Thinkin' back
To the things you used to say
Didn't he put you on a pedastal
When first you met
Sure was some honeymoon
Ain't it hard to forget
Now whatever happened to that crazy boy
With the love light in his eye
Used to bring you flowers every day
Now you sit here
On a cloudy afternoon
Watchin' the soap opera on the tv
An your old man's workin'
And your kids are out playin'
And you ain't feelin' too free
You keep thinkin' back
Thinkin' back to high school
Those high school days
All the wild wild wild good times you had
All the boyfriends,
Boyfriends knockin' at your door
[repeat first verse]
Watchin' clocks, spin the hours away
Jody girl, you know the world
Goin' round all day
Thinkin' back
To the things you used to say
Didn't he put you on a pedastal
When first you met
Sure was some honeymoon
Ain't it hard to forget
Now whatever happened to that crazy boy
With the love light in his eye
Used to bring you flowers every day
Now you sit here
On a cloudy afternoon
Watchin' the soap opera on the tv
An your old man's workin'
And your kids are out playin'
And you ain't feelin' too free
You keep thinkin' back
Thinkin' back to high school
Those high school days
All the wild wild wild good times you had
All the boyfriends,
Boyfriends knockin' at your door
[repeat first verse]
Travelin' Man Lyrics – Bob Seger
Up with the sun, gone with the wind
She always said I was lazy
Leavin' my home, leavin' my friends
Runnin' when things get too crazy
Out to the road, out 'neath the stars
Feelin' the breeze, passin' the cars
Women have come, women have gone
Everyone tryin' to cage me
Some were so sweet, I barely got free
Others, they only enraged me
Sometimes at night, I see their faces
I feel the traces they've left on my soul
Those are the memories that make me a wealthy soul
Those are the memories that make me a wealthy soul
Travelin' man, love when I can
Turn loose my hand 'cause I'm goin'
Travelin' man, catch if you can
But sooner than later I'm goin'
Sometimes at night, I see their faces
I feel the traces they left on my soul
Those are the memories that made me a wealthy soul
Those are the memories that made me a wealthy soul
She always said I was lazy
Leavin' my home, leavin' my friends
Runnin' when things get too crazy
Out to the road, out 'neath the stars
Feelin' the breeze, passin' the cars
Women have come, women have gone
Everyone tryin' to cage me
Some were so sweet, I barely got free
Others, they only enraged me
Sometimes at night, I see their faces
I feel the traces they've left on my soul
Those are the memories that make me a wealthy soul
Those are the memories that make me a wealthy soul
Travelin' man, love when I can
Turn loose my hand 'cause I'm goin'
Travelin' man, catch if you can
But sooner than later I'm goin'
Sometimes at night, I see their faces
I feel the traces they left on my soul
Those are the memories that made me a wealthy soul
Those are the memories that made me a wealthy soul
Momma Lyrics – Bob Seger
I was the baby brother
I was the quiet other
And I remember mother so well
I was the little stranger
I never was in danger
I could'a had a manger, pray tell
Oh, how she could control me
And when I was bad she'd scold me
Sometimes she wouldn't hold me, and I'd cry
But momma she never told me a lie
Momma she never told me a lie
I used to stay out evenings
Stay out too late some evenings
And momma would be there seething
Back home
Momma, she sat and waited
Sat in the hall and waited
Now I know why she hated that phone
And when I'd come in she'd grab me
Right by the arm she'd grab me
And Lord, when she was finished with me
I'd cry, oh, I'd cry
But momma she never told me a lie
Momma she never told me a lie
Oh how she could control me
And when I was bad she'd scold me
Sometimes she wouldn't hold me, and I'd cry
But momma she never told me a lie
Momma she never promised the sky
Momma she never told me a lie
I was the quiet other
And I remember mother so well
I was the little stranger
I never was in danger
I could'a had a manger, pray tell
Oh, how she could control me
And when I was bad she'd scold me
Sometimes she wouldn't hold me, and I'd cry
But momma she never told me a lie
Momma she never told me a lie
I used to stay out evenings
Stay out too late some evenings
And momma would be there seething
Back home
Momma, she sat and waited
Sat in the hall and waited
Now I know why she hated that phone
And when I'd come in she'd grab me
Right by the arm she'd grab me
And Lord, when she was finished with me
I'd cry, oh, I'd cry
But momma she never told me a lie
Momma she never told me a lie
Oh how she could control me
And when I was bad she'd scold me
Sometimes she wouldn't hold me, and I'd cry
But momma she never told me a lie
Momma she never promised the sky
Momma she never told me a lie
Nutbush City Limits Lyrics – Bob Seger (originally by Tina Turner)
There's a churchhouse, gin house, schoolhouse, outhouse
On the U.S. 19, hey the people keep the city clean
They call it Nutbush, ahh Nutbush
Nutbush city, Nutbush city limits
25 is the speed limit, motorcycles not allowed in it
Go to town on Saturday, go to church every Sunday
Nutbush city, Nutbush city limits
No whiskey for sale, can't find a female
Salt pork and molasses, all your gonna get if you end in jail
Nutbush city, Nutbush city limits
Work the fields every weekday, have a picnic every Labor Day
Go in town on Friday, be in church every Sunday
Nutbush city, Nutbush city limit
A little old town, down in Tennessee
Quiet community, a real quiet southern community
Not much ever happens in Nutbush, ahh no
You can hear the corn grow,
Got to watch out for the police
Drivin' through nutbush
Better watch out for the police
Better watch out for the police
Keep an eye out for the police
Nutbush city limit, Nutbush city limit
On the U.S. 19, hey the people keep the city clean
They call it Nutbush, ahh Nutbush
Nutbush city, Nutbush city limits
25 is the speed limit, motorcycles not allowed in it
Go to town on Saturday, go to church every Sunday
Nutbush city, Nutbush city limits
No whiskey for sale, can't find a female
Salt pork and molasses, all your gonna get if you end in jail
Nutbush city, Nutbush city limits
Work the fields every weekday, have a picnic every Labor Day
Go in town on Friday, be in church every Sunday
Nutbush city, Nutbush city limit
A little old town, down in Tennessee

You can hear the corn grow,
Got to watch out for the police
Drivin' through nutbush
Better watch out for the police
Better watch out for the police
Keep an eye out for the police
Nutbush city limit, Nutbush city limit
Sailing Nights Lyrics – Bob Seger
Like the wind that carried ahab
To a far, more distant shore,
To a shipwreck that was certain
Long before.
I can see there's no use sailing
Among ships i've known before.
It will only bring me more,
And more and more
Lonely sailing nights, more,
Racing, dimming lights.
Lonely nights, and all too
Familiar sights.
Just as water seeks its level,
So i only seek to live;
Hoping somehow i can find
A way to give.
And the sea, it softly beckons,
"come and go where you've not been."
With the dawning of a new day,
I'm gone, again.
Lonely sailing nights, ... gone,
Racing, dimming lights,
Lonely nights,
And all too
Familiar sights.
To a far, more distant shore,
To a shipwreck that was certain
Long before.
I can see there's no use sailing
Among ships i've known before.
It will only bring me more,
And more and more
Lonely sailing nights, more,
Racing, dimming lights.
Lonely nights, and all too
Familiar sights.
Just as water seeks its level,
So i only seek to live;
Hoping somehow i can find
A way to give.
And the sea, it softly beckons,
"come and go where you've not been."
With the dawning of a new day,
I'm gone, again.
Lonely sailing nights, ... gone,
Racing, dimming lights,
Lonely nights,
And all too
Familiar sights.
Fine Memory Lyrics – Bob Seger
Last night I saw you walking
Past my bed late at night
And the moon shone
Through your gown
Such a fine memory
I think I'm gonna take it with me
And later as you were sleeping
Sleeping close to me
I felt your hair on my skin
Such a fine memory
I know I'm gonna take it with me
I'm going to take it
Far as I go
I'm going to take it far as I go
And later as I was driving
The sky was getting light
And the sun came through the trees
I had a fine memory
Such a fine memory
Past my bed late at night
And the moon shone
Through your gown
Such a fine memory
I think I'm gonna take it with me
And later as you were sleeping
Sleeping close to me
I felt your hair on my skin
Such a fine memory
I know I'm gonna take it with me
I'm going to take it
Far as I go
I'm going to take it far as I go
And later as I was driving
The sky was getting light
And the sun came through the trees
I had a fine memory
Such a fine memory
Get Out Of Denver Lyrics – Bob Seger
I still remember it was autumn and the moon was shinin'
Our 60 Cadillac was roarin' through Nebraska whinin'
Doin' 120 man the fields was bendin' over
Headin' out for the mountains knowin' we was traveling further
All our fires were blazing and the spinnin' wheels were turnin' turnin'
Had my girl beside me brother.
Brother she was burnin' burnin'
Up walked a Baptist preachin' southern funky school teacher
She had a line on somethin' heavy but we couldn't reach her
We told her that we needed somethin' that would get us goin'
She pulled out all she had and laid it on the counter showin'
All I had to do was lay my money down and pick it up
The cops came dustin' in and then we lit out in our pickup truck go
Get out of Denver better go go
Get out of Denver better go
Get out of Denver better go go
Get out of Denver cause you look just like a commie
And you might just be a member better
Better Get out of Denver
Better Get out of Denver
Well red lights were flashin' and the sirens were a-screamin'
We had to pinch each other just to see if we was dreamin'
Made it to Loveland Pass in under less than half an hour
Lord it started drizzlin' and it turned into a thundershower
The rain was drivin' but the Caddy kept on burnin' rubber
We kept on drivin' till we ran into some fog cover
We couldn't see a thing somehow we just kept on goin'
We kept on drivin' all night long and then into the mornin'fog.
It finally lifted when we looked to see where we was at
We're starin' at a Colorado state policeman trooper cat
And go Get out of Denver he said go go
Get out of Denver better go
Get out of Denver better go go
Get out of Denver cause you look just like a commie
And you might just be a member
Better get out of Denver
Better get out of Denver better go
Oh better better better go
Hey go
Ah better better go go go go
Cause you look just like a commie
And you might just be a member better
Get out of Denver better go!
Our 60 Cadillac was roarin' through Nebraska whinin'

Long Song Comin' Lyrics – Bob Seger
Politician 'bout to make his speech
Signal for attention, please
Then he shuffled his notes
And wiped his sweating brow
I looked at my friend next to me
And we don't dare agree
Before this is over
We'll wish we woulda left right now
'Cause it sounds like a long song comin'
And it looks like he might throw in a little dancin', too
Yes, it sounds like a long song comin'
And buddy, listen buddy
We got better things to listen to
Lady from a church bizarre
Was smiling from her head to her feet
All the way down to her feet
That she couldn't see
She started speeking her piece
I said "Stop, Wait a minute, please
Before you start talkin'
I wish you'd please listen to me."
'Cause it sounds like a long song comin'
And though some of the things you say might be true
It still sounds like a long song comin'
And baby, listen lady, I got better things to listen to
Yes, it sounds like a long song comin'
And it looks like you might throw in a little dancin', too
Yes, it sounds like a long song comin'
And buddy, listen buddy, I got better things to listen to
Say, so it sounds like a long song comin'
And it sounds like some just might be true
Still it sounds like a long song comin'
And buddy, listen buddy, I got better things to listen to
And buddy, listen buddy, we got better things to listen to
Signal for attention, please
Then he shuffled his notes
And wiped his sweating brow
I looked at my friend next to me
And we don't dare agree
Before this is over
We'll wish we woulda left right now
'Cause it sounds like a long song comin'
And it looks like he might throw in a little dancin', too
Yes, it sounds like a long song comin'
And buddy, listen buddy
We got better things to listen to
Lady from a church bizarre
Was smiling from her head to her feet
All the way down to her feet
That she couldn't see
She started speeking her piece
I said "Stop, Wait a minute, please
Before you start talkin'
I wish you'd please listen to me."
'Cause it sounds like a long song comin'
And though some of the things you say might be true
It still sounds like a long song comin'
And baby, listen lady, I got better things to listen to
Yes, it sounds like a long song comin'
And it looks like you might throw in a little dancin', too
Yes, it sounds like a long song comin'
And buddy, listen buddy, I got better things to listen to
Say, so it sounds like a long song comin'
And it sounds like some just might be true
Still it sounds like a long song comin'
And buddy, listen buddy, I got better things to listen to
And buddy, listen buddy, we got better things to listen to
Need Ya Lyrics – Bob Seger
I used to be a very carefree man,
A loving man of the world.
Yeah, I would still be except for the time
When I met ya, little girl.
Say, I've tried and I've tried but I just can't.
You sure got a hold on me.
Ah, your good, good lovin' is makin' me faint,
Mama, please don't set me free.
Because I need ya, need ya, need ya, need ya, yeah.
(Need ya, need ya)
Oh, need ya, need ya, need ya, need ya, yeah.
(Need ya, need ya)
You got that kinda air that drives me insane
And sometime ya sure got me new.
Ah, sometimes I feel like knockin' you down,
But I would never pull that scene.
Though I get tired, I know that you know
That I'd never do you wrong.
'Cause when it's late and I feel down, turn the lights on low
And I will hold things in my soul.
'Cause I need ya, need ya, need ya, need ya, yeah.
(Need ya, need ya)
I'm gonna need ya, need ya, need ya, need ya, yeah.
(Need ya, need ya)

Cross Of Gold Lyrics – Bob Seger
You can change the way you live
You can make it ?
You can turn it up or down
You can change the things you're told
You can crucify the word on a cross of gold
You can crucify the word on a cross of gold
Oh oh oh
You can lie to every face
You can use a stranglehold
You can lose or win the chase
You can sell your very soul
You can crucify the word on a cross of gold
You can crucify the word on a cross of gold
Oh oh oh
You can steal the things you need
You can keep the people down
You can take the best there is
To the shelters underground
You can crucify the word on a cross of gold
You can crucify the word on a cross of gold
You can make it ?
You can turn it up or down
You can change the things you're told
You can crucify the word on a cross of gold
You can crucify the word on a cross of gold
Oh oh oh
You can lie to every face
You can use a stranglehold
You can lose or win the chase
You can sell your very soul
You can crucify the word on a cross of gold
You can crucify the word on a cross of gold
Oh oh oh
You can steal the things you need
You can keep the people down
You can take the best there is
To the shelters underground
You can crucify the word on a cross of gold
You can crucify the word on a cross of gold
U.M.C. (Upper Middle Class) Lyrics – Bob Seger
I wanna be a lawyer
Doctor or professor
A member of the UMC
I want an air conditioner
Cottage on the river
And all the money I can see
I wanna drive a Lincoln
Spend my evenings drinking
The very best burgandy
I want a yacht for sailing
Private eye for tailing
My wife if She's a bit too free
I've been told ever since a boy
that's what one aught to be
A part of the UMC
I want a pool to swim in
Fancy suits to dress in
Some stock in GM and GE
An office in the city
Secretary pretty
Who'll take dictation on my knee
I want a paid vacation
Don't want to have to ration
A thing with anyone but me
And if there's war or famine
Promise I'll examine
The details if they're on TV
I'll pretend to be liberal but I'll still support the GOP,
As part of the UMC
I wanna be a lawyer
Doctor or professor
A member of the UMC
Doctor or professor
A member of the UMC
I want an air conditioner
Cottage on the river
And all the money I can see
I wanna drive a Lincoln
Spend my evenings drinking
The very best burgandy
I want a yacht for sailing
Private eye for tailing
My wife if She's a bit too free
I've been told ever since a boy
that's what one aught to be
A part of the UMC
I want a pool to swim in
Fancy suits to dress in

Who'll take dictation on my knee
I want a paid vacation
Don't want to have to ration
A thing with anyone but me
And if there's war or famine
Promise I'll examine
The details if they're on TV
I'll pretend to be liberal but I'll still support the GOP,
As part of the UMC
I wanna be a lawyer
Doctor or professor

Seen A Lot Of Floors Lyrics – Bob Seger
Seen a lot of walls, seen a lot of halls
Got a lot of calls, late at night
Seen a lot of doors, seen a lot of floors
Done a lot of chores, late at night
So don't come in here walkin'
So innocent and talkin'
Tryin' to make conversation
Cause I know and you know
That I know what you're here for
Don't tell me 'bout your father
Your sister or your mother
Your great big brother
Not tonight
Don't want to hear about your hang ups
Don't want know your favorite movies
Don't want to hear about other rock bands
Not tonight
So don't come in here walkin'
So innocent and talkin'
Tryin' to make conversation
'Cause you know and I know
That I know what you're here for
Seen a lot of floors
Seen a lot of doors
Done a lot of chores
Late at night
Got a lot of calls, late at night
Seen a lot of doors, seen a lot of floors
Done a lot of chores, late at night
So don't come in here walkin'
So innocent and talkin'
Tryin' to make conversation
Cause I know and you know
That I know what you're here for
Don't tell me 'bout your father

So innocent and talkin'
Tryin' to make conversation
'Cause you know and I know
That I know what you're here for
Seen a lot of floors

Done a lot of chores
Late at night
20 Years From Now Lyrics – Bob Seger
Jan is tired of her inhaler
When she moved here from back east
Still she said she'd stay beside me
And she brought me a new peace
I saw her smilin' in the summer sun
I saw her 'neath the quiet moon
I knew right then I'd never leave her
She had taken me so soon
When she went
She went
And we settled near the blue lagoon
Listened all night to the wind
Sometimes we laughed, sometimes we cried
Sometimes we just went for a swim
All that time my love kept growing, growing, growing
Made me feel so warm inside
All the time her smile glowing
And it gave me so much pride
When she went, yeah when she went
Yeah, now we sit here in the evening
And listen to the crickets sing
And we'll be here twenty years from now
And we'll hear the crickets sing
And then she'll go, oh, oh, oh, oh
She'll go
When she moved here from back east
Still she said she'd stay beside me
And she brought me a new peace
I saw her smilin' in the summer sun
I saw her 'neath the quiet moon
I knew right then I'd never leave her
She had taken me so soon
When she went
She went
And we settled near the blue lagoon
Listened all night to the wind
Sometimes we laughed, sometimes we cried
Sometimes we just went for a swim
All that time my love kept growing, growing, growing
Made me feel so warm inside
All the time her smile glowing
And it gave me so much pride
When she went, yeah when she went
Yeah, now we sit here in the evening
And listen to the crickets sing
And we'll be here twenty years from now
And we'll hear the crickets sing
And then she'll go, oh, oh, oh, oh
She'll go

Midnight Rider Lyrics – Bob Seger (feat. Greg Allman)
I got to run to keep from hiding
And I'm bound to keep on riding
I've got one more silver dollar
But I'm not gonna let 'em
Catch the midnight, rider
I don't own the clothes I'm wearing
And the road goes on forever
I've got one more silver dollar
But I'm not gonna let 'em
Catch the midnight, rider
I don't own the clothes I'm wearing
Some old bed I'll soon be sharing
I've got one more silver dollar
But I'm not gonna let them catch
The midnight, rider
Not gonna let 'em catch me
And I'm bound to keep on riding
I've got one more silver dollar
But I'm not gonna let 'em
Catch the midnight, rider
I don't own the clothes I'm wearing
And the road goes on forever
I've got one more silver dollar
But I'm not gonna let 'em
Catch the midnight, rider
I don't own the clothes I'm wearing
Some old bed I'll soon be sharing
I've got one more silver dollar
But I'm not gonna let them catch
The midnight, rider
Not gonna let 'em catch me
So I Wrote You A Song Lyrics – Bob Seger
I woke up with this feeling
There was something I needed to say
So I wrote you a song
Lately girl I've been dreamin'
Dreamin' 'bout you all through the day
So I wrote you a song
Hope the words will be right
When I see you tonight
You'll know how I feel
I'm no longer alone
Think I've found me a home
And I think it's real
I woke up with this feeling
Haven't felt it for quite some time
So I wrote you a song
All these thoughts I've been dreaming
Somehow I've got to make them right
Got to make them belong
Everytime that you're here
Everytime that you're near
Everything is real
I'm no longer alone
Think I've found me a home
And I think it's real
So I wrote you a song
There was something I needed to say
So I wrote you a song
Lately girl I've been dreamin'
Dreamin' 'bout you all through the day
So I wrote you a song
Hope the words will be right
When I see you tonight
You'll know how I feel
I'm no longer alone
Think I've found me a home
And I think it's real
I woke up with this feeling
Haven't felt it for quite some time
So I wrote you a song
All these thoughts I've been dreaming
Somehow I've got to make them right
Got to make them belong
Everytime that you're here
Everytime that you're near
Everything is real
I'm no longer alone
Think I've found me a home
And I think it's real
So I wrote you a song
Stealer Lyrics – Bob Seger
I went down to the center of the town
Beneath my feet was the burning ground
She stood on the corner, sexy as can be
Said hey good looking walk along with me
And I said yeah, huh, oh yeah
I'm your stealer, come to steal your love
Sun was shining, the world was bright
I said tell me darling
Where you gonna be tonight now
Goin' 'round the corner
Where the music's loud
I'm tired of the city
i'm gonna cat me around
And I said yeah, oh yeah
I'm your stealer, I come to steal your love
Goin' 'round the corner
Where the music's loud
I'm tired of the city
I'm gonna go cat me around
And I said yeah, oh yeah
I'm your stealer, come to steal your love
Beneath my feet was the burning ground
She stood on the corner, sexy as can be
Said hey good looking walk along with me
And I said yeah, huh, oh yeah
I'm your stealer, come to steal your love
Sun was shining, the world was bright
I said tell me darling
Where you gonna be tonight now
Goin' 'round the corner
Where the music's loud
I'm tired of the city
i'm gonna cat me around
And I said yeah, oh yeah
I'm your stealer, I come to steal your love
Goin' 'round the corner
Where the music's loud
I'm tired of the city
I'm gonna go cat me around
And I said yeah, oh yeah
I'm your stealer, come to steal your love
Rosalie Lyrics – Bob Seger
She's quite the mediator
A smoother operator you will never see
She'll see you later
And no one dares disobey her openly
She knows music, I know music too you see
She's got the power, the teen queen Rosalie
Rosalie, Rosalie
She's got the plastic
Comes from all the corner's corners of the world
So fantastic
She's everybody's favorite little record girl
She knows music, I know music too you see
She's got the power, she's got the tower
Rosalie, Rosalie
From Chattanooga, to good old Bogalusa
You can hear them fine
She makes her choices
And then you best be smilin' when it's choosin' time
A smoother operator you will never see
She'll see you later
And no one dares disobey her openly
She knows music, I know music too you see
She's got the power, the teen queen Rosalie
Rosalie, Rosalie
She's got the plastic
Comes from all the corner's corners of the world
So fantastic
She's everybody's favorite little record girl
She knows music, I know music too you see
She's got the power, she's got the tower
Rosalie, Rosalie
From Chattanooga, to good old Bogalusa
You can hear them fine
She makes her choices
And then you best be smilin' when it's choosin' time
Turn The Page Lyrics – Bob Seger
On a long and lonesome highway, east of Omaha
You can listen to the engine moanin' out it's 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 riding sixteen hours and there's nothing there to 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, on the stage
Here I go, playing star again
There I go, turn the page
Well you walk into a restaurant all 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 'em talk, other times you can
All the same old cliche's, is it woman is it man?
You always seem outnumbered, so you don't dare make a stand
Here I am, on the road again
There I am, 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 echoes from the amplifiers ringin' in your head
You smoke the days last cigarette, remembering what she said
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
Here I am, on the road again
There I am, on the stage yeah
Here I go, playing star again
There I go, there I go
You can listen to the engine moanin' out it's 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 riding sixteen hours and there's nothing there to 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, on the stage
Here I go, playing star again
There I go, turn the page
Well you walk into a restaurant all 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 'em talk, other times you can
All the same old cliche's, is it woman is it man?
You always seem outnumbered, so you don't dare make a stand
Here I am, on the road again
There I am, 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 echoes from the amplifiers ringin' in your head
You smoke the days last cigarette, remembering what she said
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
Here I am, on the road again
There I am, on the stage yeah
Here I go, playing star again
There I go, there I go
Back In '72 Lyrics – Bob Seger
Went out in Norfork, hung on a short short
Livin' with a bottle of wine
With music ladies and burned out babies
I was tryin' to write a couple of lines
Sherriff Gribbs with his grim ad libs
Spoutin' about the crime in the street
And women were screamin' and some was dreamin'
'Bout the crimes between the sheets
You know that music died, hurt my pride
But somehow I pulled through, back in '72
Somehow we made it to Baton Rouge
We stayed inside for a week
We weren't in town for no Mardi Gras
So we decided to sleep
Houston, yes, was a good old guest
Lord knows how bad we wanted to play
But we got homesick for Lincoln Park, imagine
And man we just couldn't stay
Tricky Dick, he played it slick
Something I was afraid he'd do, back in '72
Then all the new born philosophers
Are windows for the world
Then some mystic psuedo-intellectual
Avant-garde-ish world
Takin' notes on that ?
That got me down on the scene
It was so hip to be negative
So square to try and believe
When the waters cleared, it was what we feared
We learned nothin' new,
Back in '72
Livin' with a bottle of wine
With music ladies and burned out babies
I was tryin' to write a couple of lines
Sherriff Gribbs with his grim ad libs
Spoutin' about the crime in the street
And women were screamin' and some was dreamin'
'Bout the crimes between the sheets
You know that music died, hurt my pride
But somehow I pulled through, back in '72
Somehow we made it to Baton Rouge
We stayed inside for a week
We weren't in town for no Mardi Gras
So we decided to sleep
Houston, yes, was a good old guest
Lord knows how bad we wanted to play
But we got homesick for Lincoln Park, imagine
And man we just couldn't stay
Tricky Dick, he played it slick
Something I was afraid he'd do, back in '72
Then all the new born philosophers
Are windows for the world
Then some mystic psuedo-intellectual
Avant-garde-ish world
Takin' notes on that ?
That got me down on the scene
It was so hip to be negative
So square to try and believe
When the waters cleared, it was what we feared
We learned nothin' new,
Back in '72
Neon Sky Lyrics – Bob Seger
There's the neon sky, that I know so well
There's the smokey room, where I chose to dwell
Though I hear your heart, many miles away
The neon sky, tells me I must stay
Through the windy field, of another land
I have seen your face, girl, I have held your hand
Though I should be there, with you there today
The neon sky knows that I must stay
Cause the devil's red, but his money is green
That's where I'm from, oh, that's where I've been
On a dusty stage, many years ago,
I chose my road, still I hope you know
That there'll come a day with the neon sky
When we'll walk into the sun, you and I
Yes now he calls, beckons unto me
From the empty hall, from the galleries
And so I must go, leave you here today
Cause the neon sky orders me away
There's the smokey room, where I chose to dwell
Though I hear your heart, many miles away
The neon sky, tells me I must stay
Through the windy field, of another land
I have seen your face, girl, I have held your hand
Though I should be there, with you there today
The neon sky knows that I must stay
Cause the devil's red, but his money is green
That's where I'm from, oh, that's where I've been
On a dusty stage, many years ago,
I chose my road, still I hope you know
That there'll come a day with the neon sky
When we'll walk into the sun, you and I
Yes now he calls, beckons unto me
From the empty hall, from the galleries
And so I must go, leave you here today
Cause the neon sky orders me away
I've Been Working Lyrics – Bob Seger
I've been working
I've been working so hard
I've been working
I've been working so hard
I come home make love to you
Makin' love to you, now
I've been grinding
I've been grinding for so long
I've been grinding

Woman woman woman woman woman woman woman
I've Got Time Lyrics – Bob Seger
I was born at the break of dawn
In the last days of the last great war
My father was not in the fighting
And my mother never had to mourn
I was raised, raised and taught to hurry
I've been hurrying and worrying all my days
But now as I'm getting older
I think I'm learning how to run the race
And with you by my side, your heart close to mine
I've got time
I used to wake up every morning
And lie there far too long
Everything I did was wrong
With you, and your faith in me
Oh, how you made my whole life shine
And I've got time
You, and your faith in me
Little girl you made my whole life shine
And I've got time
In the last days of the last great war
My father was not in the fighting
And my mother never had to mourn
I was raised, raised and taught to hurry
I've been hurrying and worrying all my days
But now as I'm getting older
I think I'm learning how to run the race
And with you by my side, your heart close to mine
I've got time
I used to wake up every morning
And lie there far too long
Everything I did was wrong
With you, and your faith in me
Oh, how you made my whole life shine
And I've got time
You, and your faith in me
Little girl you made my whole life shine
And I've got time
Bo Diddley / Who Do You Love? Lyrics – Bob Seger
Bo Diddley, Bo Diddley have you heard
Mama gonna buy you a mockingbird
If that mockingbird don't sing
She gonna buy you a diamond ring
If that diamond ring don't shine
Baby gonna take it to a private eye
If that private eye can't see
He gonna have to come an talk to me
Said hey Bo Diddley
Hey now Bo Diddley
Hey Bo Diddley
I walked 47 miles of barbed wire
Use a cobra snake for a necktie
Got a brand new house on the roadside child
Made out of rattlesnake hide
Brand new chimney on top
Made out of human skulls
Come and take a little walk with me Arlene
Tell me who do you love
Who do you love
Who do you love
Who do you love
Arlene took me by my hand
Said cool it Robert you know your my man
Who do you love
Who do you love
Who do you love
Night was dark the sky was blue
Down the alley we was swingin' through
Lord I heard just what I seen
Who do you love
Who do you love
Who do you love
Mama gonna buy you a mockingbird
If that mockingbird don't sing
She gonna buy you a diamond ring
If that diamond ring don't shine
Baby gonna take it to a private eye
If that private eye can't see
He gonna have to come an talk to me
Said hey Bo Diddley
Hey now Bo Diddley
Hey Bo Diddley
I walked 47 miles of barbed wire
Use a cobra snake for a necktie
Got a brand new house on the roadside child
Made out of rattlesnake hide
Brand new chimney on top
Made out of human skulls
Come and take a little walk with me Arlene
Tell me who do you love
Who do you love

Night was dark the sky was blue
Down the alley we was swingin' through
Lord I heard just what I seen
Who do you love

Love The One You're With Lyrics – Bob Seger
When you're down, and confused
And you don't remember who you been talking to
Concentration, slips away
Because your baby, is so far away
Well there's a rose in the fisted glove
And the eagle flies with the dove
And if you can't be with the one you love, honey
Love the one you're with
Love the one you're with
Don't be angry, don't be sad
When you sit down and think about
All those good times that we've had
There's a girl, right next to you
and she's just waiting, for something to do
Well there's a rose in the fisted glove
And the eagle flies with the dove
And if you can't be with the one you love
Love the one you're with
Love the one you're with
Do doot doot doot doot doot doot doot
Do doot doot doot doot doot doot doot
Do do doot, Do do doot
Turn your heartache, right into joy
She's a girl, and you're a boy
Get it together and make it nice
You ain't gonna need no more advice
And you don't remember who you been talking to
Concentration, slips away
Because your baby, is so far away
Well there's a rose in the fisted glove
And the eagle flies with the dove
And if you can't be with the one you love, honey
Love the one you're with
Love the one you're with
Don't be angry, don't be sad
When you sit down and think about
All those good times that we've had
There's a girl, right next to you
and she's just waiting, for something to do
Well there's a rose in the fisted glove
And the eagle flies with the dove
And if you can't be with the one you love
Love the one you're with
Love the one you're with
Do doot doot doot doot doot doot doot
Do doot doot doot doot doot doot doot
Do do doot, Do do doot
Turn your heartache, right into joy
She's a girl, and you're a boy
Get it together and make it nice
You ain't gonna need no more advice
If I Were A Carpenter Lyrics – Bob Seger
If I were a carpenter and you were a lady
Would you marry me anyway?
Would you have my baby?
If I worked my hands in wood
I wonder would you still love me?
I say yes, I would, I'll put you above me
That's what I want you to say
And would you save my love from loneliness,
Would you save my love from sorrow, if you would
I give you my onlyness, girl and all of my tomorrows
If a tinker were my trade, would you still find me?
Carrying the pots and the pans that I made,
Walking along the highway
That long lonely highway
If I was a carpenter, and you were a lady
And I was just a carpenter,
Instead of a rock and roll star
Just a carpenter
A carpenter
A carpenter
Would you marry me anyway?
Would you have my baby?
If I worked my hands in wood
I wonder would you still love me?
I say yes, I would, I'll put you above me
That's what I want you to say
And would you save my love from loneliness,
Would you save my love from sorrow, if you would
I give you my onlyness, girl and all of my tomorrows
If a tinker were my trade, would you still find me?
Carrying the pots and the pans that I made,
Walking along the highway
That long lonely highway
If I was a carpenter, and you were a lady
And I was just a carpenter,
Instead of a rock and roll star
Just a carpenter
A carpenter
A carpenter
Hummin' Bird Lyrics – Bob Seger
Sometimes I get impatient
Be she cools me without words
And she comes so softly
My hummingbird
And have you heard
I thought my life had ended
But I found that it's just begun
Cause she gets me where where I live
I'd give her everything I've got to give
All for that hummingbird
Oh she's little and she loves me
Too much for words to say
I see her in the morning sleeping
Yeah she's little and she loves me
It's my lucky day
Hummingbird don't fly away
When I'm feelin' wild and lonesome
She knows just what to say
She gives me so much understanding
In her little way
Lord I gotta say
In my life I'm gonna love no other
She's more than I deserve
She gets me where where I live
I'd give her everything that's mine to give
All for that hummingbird
Oh she's little and she loves me
Too much for words to say
I see her in the morning sleeping
Yeah she's little and she loves me
It's my lucky day
Hummingbird don't fly away
Be she cools me without words
And she comes so softly
My hummingbird
And have you heard
I thought my life had ended
But I found that it's just begun
Cause she gets me where where I live
I'd give her everything I've got to give
All for that hummingbird
Oh she's little and she loves me
Too much for words to say
I see her in the morning sleeping
Yeah she's little and she loves me
It's my lucky day
Hummingbird don't fly away
When I'm feelin' wild and lonesome
She knows just what to say
She gives me so much understanding
In her little way
Lord I gotta say
In my life I'm gonna love no other
She's more than I deserve
She gets me where where I live
I'd give her everything that's mine to give
All for that hummingbird
Oh she's little and she loves me
Too much for words to say
I see her in the morning sleeping
Yeah she's little and she loves me
It's my lucky day
Hummingbird don't fly away
Let It Rock Lyrics – Bob Seger
In the heat of the day, down in Mobile, Alabama
Workin' on the railroad with a steel drivin' hammer
Tryin' to get some money, get some brand new shoes
Tryin to find a lady, chase away my blues
Hot and wasted Lord sweatin' in the sun
[?] 'till my work is all done
Later in the evening when the sun is sinking low
I'll be out there waitin' for the whistle to blow
Sittin' in the teepee smokin' out on the track
Drivin' in a Chevy till my foreman get back
Suddenly I hear the breakman up and shout
There's a non-stop train comin' two miles out
Everybody jumpin' and a screaming around
Tryin to get the line an get the teepee down
Railroad owner's 'bout to go insane
Tryin' to get the workers out the way of the train
Here come the engineer honk his horn
He got a train you got to let it roll on
Let it rock
All night long
Workin' on the railroad with a steel drivin' hammer
Tryin' to get some money, get some brand new shoes
Tryin to find a lady, chase away my blues
Hot and wasted Lord sweatin' in the sun
[?] 'till my work is all done
Later in the evening when the sun is sinking low
I'll be out there waitin' for the whistle to blow
Sittin' in the teepee smokin' out on the track
Drivin' in a Chevy till my foreman get back
Suddenly I hear the breakman up and shout
There's a non-stop train comin' two miles out
Everybody jumpin' and a screaming around
Tryin to get the line an get the teepee down
Railroad owner's 'bout to go insane
Tryin' to get the workers out the way of the train
Here come the engineer honk his horn
He got a train you got to let it roll on
Let it rock
All night long

James, Jesse Lyrics – Bob Seger
He killed many a man
And he roamed over the Scarsdale range
Robbin' from the rich
And givin' to the poor
He was dark and cold and full of rage
Oh yes he was, sing with me
Poor Jesse had a wife
To mourn for his life
And three children
They were oh so brave
But that dirty little coward
He went and shot Mr. Howard
Laid poor Jesse in his grave yeah
It was on a Saturday night
When Jesse was at home
Talking to old railroad Jed
Along come Robert Ford
Like a theif in the night
And he shot poor Jesse in the back
Poor Jesse had a wife
To mourn for his life
Three children
They were oh so brave
But that dirty little coward
He went and shot Mr. Howard
Laid poor Jesse in his grave yeah
He lays
Six feet under the ground
And he roamed over the Scarsdale range
Robbin' from the rich
And givin' to the poor
He was dark and cold and full of rage
Oh yes he was, sing with me
Poor Jesse had a wife
To mourn for his life
And three children
They were oh so brave

Poor Jesse had a wife
To mourn for his life
Three children
They were oh so brave
But that dirty little coward
He went and shot Mr. Howard
Laid poor Jesse in his grave yeah

Someday Lyrics – Bob Seger
Someday, I know I'll find that road
And I, will pay back all I've owed
Somehow, I'll bear that heavy load
Someday
I know, I've never been the best
Never quite kept up with the rest
But someday you'll see I've reached that crest
Someday
And then we'll smile
And toast our glasses high
And the world will know
You and I
Till then in spite of all I've done
I'll keep on reachin for the sun
And someday we'll be number one
Someday
And I, will pay back all I've owed
Somehow, I'll bear that heavy load
Someday
I know, I've never been the best
Never quite kept up with the rest
But someday you'll see I've reached that crest
Someday
And then we'll smile
And toast our glasses high
And the world will know
You and I
Till then in spite of all I've done
I'll keep on reachin for the sun
And someday we'll be number one
Someday

This Old House Lyrics – Bob Seger
This old house once filled with joy.
With its beauty so entrancing,
Every little girl and boy.
Now its halls are filled with darkness.
Its rooms are dusty, cold.
This old house is growing so old.
Take a walk into the ballroom,
Now it hardly looks the same.
Now its chandelier is shattered,
Only stillness here remains.
Long ago there was the laughter
Through the stories that were told.
This old house has grown so old.
Carefull of the stairs,
Don't sit on the broken chair.
Peole passing by
Used to pause out in the square.
Now they go on by,
No one even stops to stare.
It's so all alone,
No one cares.
They'll tear down this house come morning,
Build a new one in its place.
Put an end to all its glory,
Put an end to all its grace.
And the sun will set when evening comes,
Stars will fill the sky -
And stars will fill the sky.
With its beauty so entrancing,
Every little girl and boy.
Now its halls are filled with darkness.
Its rooms are dusty, cold.
This old house is growing so old.
Take a walk into the ballroom,
Now it hardly looks the same.
Now its chandelier is shattered,
Only stillness here remains.
Long ago there was the laughter
Through the stories that were told.
This old house has grown so old.
Carefull of the stairs,
Don't sit on the broken chair.
Peole passing by
Used to pause out in the square.
Now they go on by,
No one even stops to stare.
It's so all alone,
No one cares.
They'll tear down this house come morning,
Build a new one in its place.
Put an end to all its glory,
Put an end to all its grace.
And the sun will set when evening comes,
Stars will fill the sky -
And stars will fill the sky.
Brand New Morning Lyrics – Bob Seger
It's a brand new morning of a brand new day.
It's a brand new chance to make it all work out some way.
Hey! It's a brand new morning and a brand new smile.
It's some brand new things you just might see in a while;
Then your life takes on a bright new shiny style.
Forget the past now, it's an ancient history.
It's a time to be reborn, it's a time for being free.
Someone might be waiting here outside where you can see-
And you just might see -
Yeah, you just might see -
That it's a brand new morning with a brand new sun,
And it's just as warm for you as it is for everyone.
Don't just walk, come on, get it on, get on the run.
It's a brand new morning, ooh, it's a brand new day.
Forget the past now, it's an ancient history.
It's a time to be reborn, it's a time for being free.
Someone might be waiting here outside where you can see -
And you just might see -
Yeah, you just might see -
That it's a brand new morning with a brand new sun,
And it's just as warm for you as it is for everyone.
Don't just walk, come on, get it on, get on the run.
It's a brand new morning, ooh, it's a brand new day.
It's a brand new chance to make it all work out some way.
Hey! It's a brand new morning and a brand new smile.
It's some brand new things you just might see in a while;
Then your life takes on a bright new shiny style.
Forget the past now, it's an ancient history.
It's a time to be reborn, it's a time for being free.

Sometimes Lyrics – Bob Seger
Sometimes you're far away.
Sometimes you just don't hear
A single word I say.
Sometimes you just don't care,
Sometimes you just don't care, at all.
Sometimes I don't know why,
Sometimes I don't know why.
Sometimes I don't know why
I love you, sometimes.
You never look at me,
You're always somewhere else.
We might be all alone
But you're all by yourself.
You tell me that you're tired,
You tell me that you're tired
And that's all.
Sometimes I think I'll leave,
You wouldn't miss me much.
And then you take my hand,
Ooh, and then I feel your touch.
Suddenly I know,
Yeah, suddenly I know
Why I'm here.
Sometimes you just don't hear
A single word I say.
Sometimes you just don't care,
Sometimes you just don't care, at all.
Sometimes I don't know why,
Sometimes I don't know why.
Sometimes I don't know why
I love you, sometimes.
You never look at me,
You're always somewhere else.
We might be all alone
But you're all by yourself.
You tell me that you're tired,
You tell me that you're tired
And that's all.
Sometimes I think I'll leave,
You wouldn't miss me much.
And then you take my hand,
Ooh, and then I feel your touch.
Suddenly I know,
Yeah, suddenly I know
Why I'm here.

You Know Who You Are Lyrics – Bob Seger
It looked like it
It felt like it
But in the end it was just a show
With good acting
Fine acting
Too bad the sponsers had to go
And you know who you are
Poor production
Poor direction
All the beautiful sad cliche's
The sound was bad
I couldn't hear you
But then what were we doing on the stage
And you know who you are
Oh yeah
Tell me if it feels like the key
Well it's easy too easy
Cause when I saw you there
With your eyes in the air
Ahh
Everything we done we done before
Somehow it seemed to make a little more sense
It was such a close call I think that's why I'm writing this at all
I'd call out your name loud
You really don't think it would make any sense
Cause you know who you are
It felt like it
But in the end it was just a show
With good acting
Fine acting
Too bad the sponsers had to go
And you know who you are
Poor production
Poor direction
All the beautiful sad cliche's
The sound was bad
I couldn't hear you
But then what were we doing on the stage
And you know who you are
Oh yeah
Tell me if it feels like the key
Well it's easy too easy
Cause when I saw you there
With your eyes in the air
Ahh
Everything we done we done before
Somehow it seemed to make a little more sense
It was such a close call I think that's why I'm writing this at all
I'd call out your name loud
You really don't think it would make any sense
Cause you know who you are
Railroad Days Lyrics – Bob Seger
Jan would climb up so high on the foul screen
Down below I would yell to watch out
When we'd play ? was always the winner
He was brave never listened to me shout
Afternoons playin' ball by the old wall
Hidin' out and of course be the star
Kept my records in old looseleaf notebooks
And today I think I still know where they are
Oh, Railroad days
Railroad days
Railroad days
When I was young, in my prime
On my way
When the rain never got in my way
oh in my younger railroad days
Some nights, Drifters playin' on the hi-fi
Talkin' 'bout girls, or preposterous lies
Laughin hard, watchin' Soupy at eleven
Skonkin' down, one of Mom's lemon pies
Ten o'clock, bringin' groceries from the market
Singin songs, to the darkness of the night
Even sang the parts the instruments were playing
Life was freer, dreams were really quite all right
Oh, Railroad days
Railroad days
Railroad days
When the sun seemed to smile on it's way
When the darkness was easier to play yeah
oh in my younger railroad days
Yesterday, I heard they shut the trains down
The ones than ran, by the field where I would play
Said the folks want new and faster transportation
It's just like me, I'll be obsolete one day
Oh, Railroad days
Railroad days
Railroad days
When I was young, in my prime
On my way
When the rain never got in my way
oh in my younger railroad days
Down below I would yell to watch out
When we'd play ? was always the winner
He was brave never listened to me shout
Afternoons playin' ball by the old wall
Hidin' out and of course be the star
Kept my records in old looseleaf notebooks
And today I think I still know where they are
Oh, Railroad days
Railroad days
Railroad days
When I was young, in my prime
On my way
When the rain never got in my way
oh in my younger railroad days
Some nights, Drifters playin' on the hi-fi
Talkin' 'bout girls, or preposterous lies
Laughin hard, watchin' Soupy at eleven

Singin songs, to the darkness of the night

Now Louise she is an outlaw, in the year of seventy one
She's got Levi bells and long straight hair
She's got a gun
Her folks they didn't under-stand why she could'nt
Get her homework done, mmm
Her father is a preacher, her mother's an ex-nun
Now Louise she likes to boogie, down at the old ballroom
She's got a crazy hophead boyfriend, digs freon balloons
They ride on his Harley from the morning till the late afternoon
They get stoned in the evening, and make love beneath the moon
Now the old folks who are listenin'
Prob'ly think think this song's obscene
Say your children aren't like that
Say my words are way off theme
Well Louise she's just an
Average product of the American dream
I concede she's kind of naive but
After all she's only thirteen
Ride on Louise, ride on, ride on
Keep on ridin'
She's got Levi bells and long straight hair
She's got a gun
Her folks they didn't under-stand why she could'nt
Get her homework done, mmm
Her father is a preacher, her mother's an ex-nun
Now Louise she likes to boogie, down at the old ballroom
She's got a crazy hophead boyfriend, digs freon balloons
They ride on his Harley from the morning till the late afternoon
They get stoned in the evening, and make love beneath the moon
Now the old folks who are listenin'
Prob'ly think think this song's obscene
Say your children aren't like that
Say my words are way off theme
Well Louise she's just an
Average product of the American dream
I concede she's kind of naive but
After all she's only thirteen
Ride on Louise, ride on, ride on
Keep on ridin'
Song For Him Lyrics – Bob Seger
I've been lonely but not lonelier than Him
I've been lonely but not lonelier than Him
When I'm lonely still I know
He'll forgive me yes it's so
I've been lonely but not lonelier than Him
I've been sorry not sorryer than Him
I've been sorry not sorryer than Him
When I'm sorry I remember
That he loves me
And I'm better
I've been sorry not sorryer than Him
It doesn't matter if I'm wrong it doesn't matter if I'm right
He's with me at the break of dawn
He's every star that shines at night
I've been happy but not happier than Him
I've been happy but not happier than Him
When I'm happy skies are blue
I forget him still it's true
I've been happy but not happier than Him
But not sorrier than Him
But not lonelier than Him
I've been lonely but not lonelier than Him
When I'm lonely still I know
He'll forgive me yes it's so
I've been lonely but not lonelier than Him
I've been sorry not sorryer than Him
I've been sorry not sorryer than Him
When I'm sorry I remember
That he loves me
And I'm better
I've been sorry not sorryer than Him
It doesn't matter if I'm wrong it doesn't matter if I'm right
He's with me at the break of dawn
He's every star that shines at night
I've been happy but not happier than Him
I've been happy but not happier than Him
When I'm happy skies are blue
I forget him still it's true
I've been happy but not happier than Him
But not sorrier than Him
But not lonelier than Him
Something Like Lyrics – Bob Seger
When she's needing Today will soon be yesterday
Giving all there is Tommorrow she might
And remember this Not even be there
Something like staying When she does what she does
When she's lonely And it doesn't fit
Even though you"re late You'll get by if you try
Everything will wait You'll get over it
Ooh, it's something like loving
If she means so much to you
There's not a thing you shouldn't do Ooh, it's something like love
If it will help to show her that you care. It's something like accepting
Everything about a woman
All the bad things, too
She can change for you
Something like loving
Oh, it's something like love, yeah.
It's a brand new morning
Of a brand new day.
It's a brand new chance
To make it all work out some way.
To right the wrongs
Within the songs of yesterday
It's a brand new morning
Oh, it's a brand new day.
Giving all there is Tommorrow she might
And remember this Not even be there
Something like staying When she does what she does
When she's lonely And it doesn't fit
Even though you"re late You'll get by if you try
Everything will wait You'll get over it
Ooh, it's something like loving
If she means so much to you
There's not a thing you shouldn't do Ooh, it's something like love
If it will help to show her that you care. It's something like accepting
Everything about a woman
All the bad things, too
She can change for you
Something like loving
Oh, it's something like love, yeah.
It's a brand new morning
Of a brand new day.
It's a brand new chance
To make it all work out some way.
To right the wrongs
Within the songs of yesterday
It's a brand new morning
Oh, it's a brand new day.
Highway Child Lyrics – Bob Seger
I wasn't born lookin' back, I can't tell white from black
Kesey next to me now darling, straighter than a railroad track
I've been so high, my mind was dry
I rent it out to farmers on the midnight ride
That ain't all
I ain't even got me a congressman I can call
All right
I seen 'em dumpin' garbage, in my rivers and lakes
I seen 'em send up John Sinclair, you know
Two joints is all it takes
Then suddenly I was in a tree
And dogs were barking up at me
can't you see
I'm so damn apethetic, I can't believe I'm free
As the senator he signs the bills you know
And he's telling us which way we have to go
Think it's time we got together and declared
When you see them coming and you get so scared
Rain is falling down, but you know I'm feeling fine
I think I'll watch the tv set, let America steal my mind
But you know I'm cool, Momma had a rule
She didn't raise no fool to be true to someone else
I'm runnin' down that highway child
I'm gonna be myself
Highway child
Highway child
Kesey next to me now darling, straighter than a railroad track
I've been so high, my mind was dry
I rent it out to farmers on the midnight ride
That ain't all
I ain't even got me a congressman I can call
All right
I seen 'em dumpin' garbage, in my rivers and lakes
I seen 'em send up John Sinclair, you know
Two joints is all it takes
Then suddenly I was in a tree
And dogs were barking up at me
can't you see
I'm so damn apethetic, I can't believe I'm free
As the senator he signs the bills you know
And he's telling us which way we have to go
Think it's time we got together and declared
When you see them coming and you get so scared
Rain is falling down, but you know I'm feeling fine
I think I'll watch the tv set, let America steal my mind
But you know I'm cool, Momma had a rule
She didn't raise no fool to be true to someone else
I'm runnin' down that highway child
I'm gonna be myself
Highway child
Highway child

Evil Edna Lyrics – Bob Seger
Evil Edna she wore sequins to the funeral
Looked just like a gypsy
Never shed a tear
Everybody said she looked just like a hooker
Everyone mistook her for the loser of the year
Still the voices of the prophets
Tell us we should live just so
Ah Edna didn't care
Enda did not know
Two weeks later, Edna laughed at her confession
Laughed just like a gypsy
Gave the nuns a chill
Everybody said she'd never be forgiven
Everybody cursed her, said that she was ill
Still the voices of the prophets
Tell us we should live just so
Ah Edna didn't care
Oh she did not know
Just the other day I heard some people talkin'
Edna went out walkin' and she passed away
No one knew exactly just what happened
No one came to mourn her, we all stayed away
Looked just like a gypsy
Never shed a tear
Everybody said she looked just like a hooker
Everyone mistook her for the loser of the year
Still the voices of the prophets
Tell us we should live just so
Ah Edna didn't care
Enda did not know
Two weeks later, Edna laughed at her confession
Laughed just like a gypsy
Gave the nuns a chill
Everybody said she'd never be forgiven
Everybody cursed her, said that she was ill
Still the voices of the prophets
Tell us we should live just so
Ah Edna didn't care
Oh she did not know
Just the other day I heard some people talkin'
Edna went out walkin' and she passed away
No one knew exactly just what happened
No one came to mourn her, we all stayed away
Big River Lyrics – Bob Seger
Life is like a big river
sinkin' or swim, depends on you
you can take or you can be a giver
if you got love
you're gonna get through
once, a good woman loved me
kinda cruel, and she left me one day
now I'm cyin', she loves another
gotta go alone
the rest of the way
take, the advice of a loser
who's been livin' too long alone
follow your heart
follow your rainbow
and one day you'll find
you are not alone
sinkin' or swim, depends on you
you can take or you can be a giver
if you got love
you're gonna get through
once, a good woman loved me
kinda cruel, and she left me one day
now I'm cyin', she loves another
gotta go alone
the rest of the way
take, the advice of a loser
who's been livin' too long alone
follow your heart
follow your rainbow
and one day you'll find
you are not alone
Mongrel Lyrics – Bob Seger
Here come the mountains, here come the hills
Here come the valleys and Shoreline still

Lucifer Lyrics – Bob Seger
Cruisin on the grey snakes till my dyin day
Checkin all the hen houses out along the way
Wastin time and drikin wine
Life is short and I ain't lyin
Livin all I Can thru every day
[Chorus:]
You can call me Lucifer
If you think you should
Now I know I'm good
Everynight I'm barrelhousin till the moon is low
Shoutin blues and payin dues & throwin way my dough
Ramblin, Gamblin, Lovin, Shovin probably won't end up with nothin
But at least I'll reap the seeds I sow
[Chorus]
Funky water farmers daughter gonna make the law
Lucy Blue Chicago Green I'll love em till they thaw
Courtin all the lovely foxes, brunette, redheads, goldi locks
Talkin time to grind my crosscut saw
[Chorus]
Checkin all the hen houses out along the way
Wastin time and drikin wine
Life is short and I ain't lyin
Livin all I Can thru every day
[Chorus:]
You can call me Lucifer
If you think you should
Now I know I'm good
Everynight I'm barrelhousin till the moon is low
Shoutin blues and payin dues & throwin way my dough
Ramblin, Gamblin, Lovin, Shovin probably won't end up with nothin
But at least I'll reap the seeds I sow

Funky water farmers daughter gonna make the law
Lucy Blue Chicago Green I'll love em till they thaw
Courtin all the lovely foxes, brunette, redheads, goldi locks
Talkin time to grind my crosscut saw

Teachin' Blues Lyrics – Bob Seger
Yeah hell yeah now I can hear the gypsy wind a howlin'
Ain't got time to lean against your wall
I gotta hit the road and keep on movin'
I'm gonna roll and smoke and boogie and ball now
Been abused, got my shoes, paid my dues, teachin' blues
Yeah I'm goin' ridin' to the gates of freedom
Cruisin till the sun she falls
I'm gonna follow my god into Eden
While I roll and smoke and boogie and ball
Light my fuse, get to choose, teachin' blues
Ain't got time to lean against your wall
I gotta hit the road and keep on movin'
I'm gonna roll and smoke and boogie and ball now
Been abused, got my shoes, paid my dues, teachin' blues
Yeah I'm goin' ridin' to the gates of freedom
Cruisin till the sun she falls
I'm gonna follow my god into Eden
While I roll and smoke and boogie and ball
Light my fuse, get to choose, teachin' blues
Leaning On My Dream Lyrics – Bob Seger
I was walkin to the corner drug store
and what should I happen to see
there were picket lines
and the people were a shoutin'
"Down with democracy"
as I strolled on by someone grabbed my arm and said
"buddy where do you stand"?
I said "I stand wherever I choose my friend
and you best let go of my hand"
as I walked away on a sunny day, I swear IA heard him scream
"you know you're leanin' on my dream"
"Hey man you're leanin on my dream"
Got home and turned on the tv set
and sat me down to eat
and a man came on
talkin' bout the coppers
they were blockin' off another street
Seems some folks was raisin' cain
and a riot had broke out
and they flashed the camera on the guy who had stopped me
I watched him runnin' about
as the cops were draggin him away
I heard on of 'em scream
"you know you're leanin' on my dream"
"these kids are leanin' on my dream"
oh yeah
well I got up and turned off the tv set
and to tell you I was feelin' mean
an I thought a while
tryin to make some sense
out of everything that I have seen
I was addin' the score when there's a knock on the door
was a letter addressed to me
It read "greetings from the president, united states"
I fell down on my knees
The next day I was on the picket line
and Lord you should have heard me scream
"you know you're leanin' on my dream"
"hey man you're leanin' on my dream"
and what should I happen to see
there were picket lines
and the people were a shoutin'
"Down with democracy"
as I strolled on by someone grabbed my arm and said
"buddy where do you stand"?
I said "I stand wherever I choose my friend
and you best let go of my hand"
as I walked away on a sunny day, I swear IA heard him scream
"you know you're leanin' on my dream"
"Hey man you're leanin on my dream"
Got home and turned on the tv set
and sat me down to eat

Seems some folks was raisin' cain

Noah Lyrics – Bob Seger
Kick off your shoes, throw away your blues
You paid your dues, Noah
Summer is here, why interfere
Go drink a beer, Noah
You must realize that you need something
Resynthesize your own ego
You must recognise that life's just a circle
So let's go on with the show
Hoist up your sail, go kill a whale
Don't look so pale, Noah
one two three four
Now let's go on with the show
Kennan was right, you're black and white
You're left and right, Noah
Remember old Cain, it's all in vein
It's starting to rain, Noah
You paid your dues, Noah

Go drink a beer, Noah

Innervenus Eyes Lyrics – Bob Seger
Innervenus eye, the fool performs the sky
Innervenus eye, cause every little heartache whines
Lord, she looked, she looked, she looked so good
She looked, she looked, she looked so good

Innervenus blue, corporations ran first too
She looked, she looked at me,
She looked at me so good
Looked so good, looked so good to me yeah
Cause you see, I'm free
Well I'm swimmin' in a sea, Ohhh
She makes her story short for double standard listeners
Deep inside of me, she knows
The mirror of her heart is sort of like her sister
And aviating rhyme and role
Innervenus chain
Pills won't ease the pain
Innervenus brain
Cause the universe is sane
Oh but she looked so good, looked so good to me
She's all alone, she's on her own
The wind has blown the heart has grown
Innervenus eye, cause every little heartache whines

Cause the universe is sane
Oh but she looked so good, looked so good to me
She's all alone, she's on her own

Loneliness Is A Feeling Lyrics – Bob Seger
As the sand dunes of time march on
The wind blows the storms to the shore
Sadness and loneliness hand in hand
Lord I feel no more
Loneliness is a feeling
I'm lost in a world with love all around
Standing there like a pillar of salt
Don't know the day, my hair's turning grey
Ooh is the tide coming to take my blues away
Loneliness is a feeling
Loneliness is a feeling
Loneliness is a feeling
When she tells you your love was a sin
You lie in your bed all alone
And all the children come in to your heart
Lord I feel no more
Loneliness is a feeling
Loneliness, loneliness
Loneliness, loneliness
Loneliness, loneliness
Loneliness, loneliness
The wind blows the storms to the shore
Sadness and loneliness hand in hand
Lord I feel no more
Loneliness is a feeling
I'm lost in a world with love all around
Standing there like a pillar of salt
Don't know the day, my hair's turning grey
Ooh is the tide coming to take my blues away
Loneliness is a feeling
Loneliness is a feeling
Loneliness is a feeling
When she tells you your love was a sin
You lie in your bed all alone
And all the children come in to your heart
Lord I feel no more
Loneliness is a feeling
Loneliness, loneliness
Loneliness, loneliness
Loneliness, loneliness
Loneliness, loneliness

Jumpin' Humpin' Hip Hypocrite Lyrics – Bob Seger
Hey, got my hands in my back pocket
I'm a jumpin'
Unscrewing the light from the socket
And I'd rather stand than sit
Puttin' all the people in the dark
Tellin' everyone good night bye bye
I put the sound
Carryin' the truth in my back pocket
My hands are holdin' me down
I've been waiting for people to ask me
What have you found
I'm a jumpin' humpin' hip hypocrit
I was dead before a gypsy
She held my head and
Fought with my boots till my eyes turned red
I'm a jumpin' humpin' hip hypocrit
Oh I'd rather stand than sit
I've been down to the gutter
Hopin' I've lived on honey and butter
But with me a life's a game
I call insane
I'm not the one to blame
I'm called insane
I was hung when I was young
I was named insane
I'm a jumpin' humpin' hip hypocrit
I broke all the laws before my age
I'm a jumpin' humpin' hip hypocrit
Yeah I'd rather stand than sit
I'm a jumpin' humpin' hip hypocrit
I turn around to see the clown
But with me a life's a game
I call insane
I'm not the one to blame
I'm called insane
I'm a jumpin' humpin' hip hypocrit
I'd rather stand than sit
I'm a jumpin' humpin' hip hypocrit
I'd rather stand than sit
I put the sound
I'm a jumpin'
Unscrewing the light from the socket
And I'd rather stand than sit
Puttin' all the people in the dark
Tellin' everyone good night bye bye
I put the sound
Carryin' the truth in my back pocket
My hands are holdin' me down
I've been waiting for people to ask me
What have you found
I'm a jumpin' humpin' hip hypocrit
I was dead before a gypsy
She held my head and
Fought with my boots till my eyes turned red
I'm a jumpin' humpin' hip hypocrit
Oh I'd rather stand than sit
I've been down to the gutter
Hopin' I've lived on honey and butter
But with me a life's a game
I call insane
I'm not the one to blame
I'm called insane
I was hung when I was young
I was named insane
I'm a jumpin' humpin' hip hypocrit
I broke all the laws before my age
I'm a jumpin' humpin' hip hypocrit
Yeah I'd rather stand than sit
I'm a jumpin' humpin' hip hypocrit
I turn around to see the clown
But with me a life's a game
I call insane
I'm not the one to blame
I'm called insane
I'm a jumpin' humpin' hip hypocrit
I'd rather stand than sit
I'm a jumpin' humpin' hip hypocrit
I'd rather stand than sit
I put the sound
Johnson, Lennie Lyrics – Bob Seger
Here we go tape rolling
Sgt. Pepper take 6
He doesn't know which way to go
Even though he's made the dough
Lennie Johnson's lost his way
Lennie Johnson's lost his way
He's lost his mind
[?]
Lennie Johnson's lost his way
He spent his time with words of rhyme
He's rang the chime
We must find
Lennie Johnson's lost his way
Lennie Johnson's lost his way
He's lost his mind
He had it yesterday
Lennie Johnson's lost his way
An apple a day keeps the doctor away
I've heard them say
Not today
Sgt. Pepper take 6
He doesn't know which way to go
Even though he's made the dough
Lennie Johnson's lost his way
Lennie Johnson's lost his way
He's lost his mind
[?]
Lennie Johnson's lost his way
He spent his time with words of rhyme
He's rang the chime
We must find
Lennie Johnson's lost his way
Lennie Johnson's lost his way
He's lost his mind
He had it yesterday
Lennie Johnson's lost his way
An apple a day keeps the doctor away
I've heard them say
Not today
Paint Them A Picture Jane Lyrics – Bob Seger
Paint them a picture Jane
And you can hang it on the wall
Tell them it's me they see
Don't tell them why I'm small
If they ask you why I'm crying
Just tell them someone is dying
And that he was just a friend
Don't let em see that you pretend
Paint them a picture Jane
Put it in a frame
One with lots of colors
Sign it with your name
Sign your name
Sign your name
Paint them a picture Jane
Like the one you painted for me
Tell them that I'm in love
But don't tell them they will see
If they ask you why I'm crying
Just tell them someone is dying
And that he was just a friend
Don't let em see that you pretend
Paint them a picture Jane
Put it in a frame
One with lots of colors
Sign it with your name
Sign your name
Sign your name
And you can hang it on the wall
Tell them it's me they see
Don't tell them why I'm small
If they ask you why I'm crying
Just tell them someone is dying
And that he was just a friend
Don't let em see that you pretend
Paint them a picture Jane
Put it in a frame
One with lots of colors
Sign it with your name
Sign your name
Sign your name
Paint them a picture Jane
Like the one you painted for me
Tell them that I'm in love
But don't tell them they will see
If they ask you why I'm crying
Just tell them someone is dying
And that he was just a friend
Don't let em see that you pretend
Paint them a picture Jane
Put it in a frame
One with lots of colors
Sign it with your name
Sign your name
Sign your name
Death Row Lyrics – Bob Seger
Here I am, oh my time's rolling slowly by
21 years old, waiting on my turn to die
Every minute Lord, every minute seems like five
And if it wasn't for the window,
I'd wonder if the world outside was alive
Yeah, smokin cigarettes, drinkin' coffee
And waiting on my last meal, I try to pretend
I try to pretend but this cell is much too real
Oh, I should have left that chick alone
I curse the day, I curse the day she was born, now
Oh the old men they tell me
they tell me love is akin to hate
but before I die, I just gotta get it straight now
Crush out my cigarette, throw away my coffee and scream
Ahhhhhhh, I don't wanna die
Oh, I don't wanna die
Oh, it's too late they'll be comin' for me soon
It's too late to pray, and anyway, God can't see this room
I'm startin' to sweat now, It won't be long now
I can see
They're gonna put me in that chair
They're gonna put me in that chair and that's how the end's gonna be
Yeah, it's gettin cold, it's gettin colder
And I'm startin' to scream, Ahh I don't wanna die
Don't leave me here to die
21 years old, waiting on my turn to die
Every minute Lord, every minute seems like five
And if it wasn't for the window,
I'd wonder if the world outside was alive
Yeah, smokin cigarettes, drinkin' coffee
And waiting on my last meal, I try to pretend
I try to pretend but this cell is much too real
Oh, I should have left that chick alone
I curse the day, I curse the day she was born, now
Oh the old men they tell me
they tell me love is akin to hate
but before I die, I just gotta get it straight now
Crush out my cigarette, throw away my coffee and scream
Ahhhhhhh, I don't wanna die
Oh, I don't wanna die
Oh, it's too late they'll be comin' for me soon
It's too late to pray, and anyway, God can't see this room
I'm startin' to sweat now, It won't be long now
I can see
They're gonna put me in that chair
They're gonna put me in that chair and that's how the end's gonna be
Yeah, it's gettin cold, it's gettin colder
And I'm startin' to scream, Ahh I don't wanna die
Don't leave me here to die
Ramblin' Gamblin' Man Lyrics – Bob Seger
Yeah, I'm gonna tell my tale come on,
Come on, give a listen
Cause I was born lonely down by the riverside
Learned to spin fortune wheels, and throw dice
And I was just thirteen when I had to leave home
Knew I couldn't stick around, I had to roam
Ain't good looking, but you know I ain't shy
Ain't afraid to look it girl, hear me out
So if you need some lovin, and you need it right away
Take a little time out, and maybe I'll stay
[Chorus:]
But I got to ramble (ramblin' man)
Oh I got to gamble (gamblin' man)
Got to got to ramble (ramblin' man)

I ain't around to love you now, and I gotta run
Gotta keep moving, never gonna slow down
You can have your funky world, see you 'round
[Chorus]

Tales Of Lucy Blue Lyrics – Bob Seger
Empty words falling on ears which have never heard
Hollow lies, comin' from lost, hung up and lonely guys
Through the night, make a sight
Other rider looks so true
Sinnin', spinnin', tales of Lucy Blue
Piercing smile filling her face for a little while,
Closin' door, leaving the heart open and wounded more
Gone away, lonely day
Turning gray with no clue
Faking, making, tales of Lucy Blue, oh oh oh
Restless night longing for love beneath the neon light
Desperate hands reachin' for someone who'll understand
Stroll around, through the town
Lost and found, when it's due
Sellin', tellin', tales of Lucy Blue
Yeah Lucy Blue one or two
Just for you hey yeah
Tales of Lucy Blue
Hollow lies, comin' from lost, hung up and lonely guys
Through the night, make a sight
Other rider looks so true
Sinnin', spinnin', tales of Lucy Blue
Piercing smile filling her face for a little while,
Closin' door, leaving the heart open and wounded more
Gone away, lonely day
Turning gray with no clue
Faking, making, tales of Lucy Blue, oh oh oh
Restless night longing for love beneath the neon light
Desperate hands reachin' for someone who'll understand
Stroll around, through the town
Lost and found, when it's due
Sellin', tellin', tales of Lucy Blue
Yeah Lucy Blue one or two
Just for you hey yeah

Ivory Lyrics – Bob Seger
You were born with a face that would let you get your way
Yeah you had everything you wanted child, that is until the day
you know you're much too fine and free, Ivory
You've been dressed in a vest, every minute of your day
You walk into a room, stand in a lit shade
Is your timer too high for me, Ivory
Ivory
How does it feel to be so high
Ivory
How long how long will it take for you to cry
Ivory
I'm in need
Ivory
Ivory
I'll touch your soul, might even touch your brain
I know you can't see me
I know your blind
Come back come back and see
Ivory
So good to me
Ivory
Yeah you had everything you wanted child, that is until the day
you know you're much too fine and free, Ivory
You've been dressed in a vest, every minute of your day
You walk into a room, stand in a lit shade
Is your timer too high for me, Ivory
Ivory
How does it feel to be so high
Ivory
How long how long will it take for you to cry
Ivory
I'm in need
Ivory
Ivory
I'll touch your soul, might even touch your brain
I know you can't see me
I know your blind
Come back come back and see
Ivory
So good to me
Ivory
Gone Lyrics – Bob Seger
This gravestone is peaceful and quiet
She pulls up a chair and sits right by it
The air around is gentle and warm
The rose colored wreath is tattered and torn
Tiny blades of grass are peeking through
Drawing life from sunshine and dew
remembering his eyes when she lied
Knowing she lives feeling she's died
Da da da da da da da
Da da da da da da da
where have all the good time gone
where have all the good time gone
where have all the good time gone my child
Da da da da da da da
Da da da da da da da
So every night after sunshine
You'll find her there alone in her shrine
Two forms appearing ghostly in rain
One red marble the other blue pain
where have all the good time gone
where have all the good time gone
where have all the good time gone my child
Da da da da da da da
Da da da da da da da
She pulls up a chair and sits right by it
The air around is gentle and warm
The rose colored wreath is tattered and torn
Tiny blades of grass are peeking through
Drawing life from sunshine and dew
remembering his eyes when she lied
Knowing she lives feeling she's died
Da da da da da da da
Da da da da da da da
where have all the good time gone
where have all the good time gone
where have all the good time gone my child
Da da da da da da da
Da da da da da da da
So every night after sunshine
You'll find her there alone in her shrine
Two forms appearing ghostly in rain
One red marble the other blue pain
where have all the good time gone
where have all the good time gone
where have all the good time gone my child
Da da da da da da da

Down Home Lyrics – Bob Seger
Chicago Green she was the ice cube queen of blue
She got a tip from Aunt Mary, said.(?somebody?) was
in love with you
She was so nieve,, famous for her childlike mind,
I don't believe she ever opened her bedroom venetian blinds
Already Eddie was unsteady on the levee
Down Home
Down Home
Little Willy was Chicago's boyfriend, a local screw
He done kicking trippy hippies in the head with his
hobnail shoes
Already Eddie, pitching for pennies, rockin' for bennies,
wound up in the local hole, without a radio,
And he wrote Aunt Mary said "Momma, it's getting hairy,Down Home."
Well it was late in the morning when Chicago bailed
Eddie on out
Which tripped out Willie, oh man you should've heard
him shout..
Yeah they wandered off somewhere, they couldn't find
their way home.
Any road home
You know I'd really like to take her but you know I
couldn't make her
Down Home.
Down Home, get it in now
Down Home, in the morning
She got a tip from Aunt Mary, said.(?somebody?) was
in love with you
She was so nieve,, famous for her childlike mind,
I don't believe she ever opened her bedroom venetian blinds
Already Eddie was unsteady on the levee
Down Home
Down Home
Little Willy was Chicago's boyfriend, a local screw
He done kicking trippy hippies in the head with his
hobnail shoes
Already Eddie, pitching for pennies, rockin' for bennies,
wound up in the local hole, without a radio,
And he wrote Aunt Mary said "Momma, it's getting hairy,Down Home."
Well it was late in the morning when Chicago bailed
Eddie on out
Which tripped out Willie, oh man you should've heard
him shout..
Yeah they wandered off somewhere, they couldn't find
their way home.
Any road home
You know I'd really like to take her but you know I
couldn't make her
Down Home.
Down Home, get it in now
Down Home, in the morning
Train Man Lyrics – Bob Seger
And over in the teacher's home she waited by the phone
For calls which never rang, and people who never sang
Train man rambled dusty into town and made his daily round
Train man and he comes in the night
brings her no love but he's right
Yes he's right
Through fog and misty morning dew, she'd seen his oily face
and he had touched her heart, taken it apart
Though he never stopped to speak a word his voice was all she heard
Train man and he comes in the night
brings her no love but he's right
Yes he's right
Little girl you're a pretty little girl
Won't you come with me a while
Little girl in your frilly little world
Won't you give me your sweet smile
If you come tonight bring someone
If you come tonight bring someone
Don't come alone
If you come alone don't come
Don't come
Don't come
Yes i know he's right
Yes i know he's right
oh I know he's right
She held his hand and whispered soft
I love you train man
He just grumbled like engine as it rumbles
And said someday
Train man and he knows something's wrong and he's right
Oh yes he's right
For calls which never rang, and people who never sang
Train man rambled dusty into town and made his daily round
Train man and he comes in the night
brings her no love but he's right
Yes he's right
Through fog and misty morning dew, she'd seen his oily face
and he had touched her heart, taken it apart
Though he never stopped to speak a word his voice was all she heard
Train man and he comes in the night
brings her no love but he's right
Yes he's right
Little girl you're a pretty little girl
Won't you come with me a while
Little girl in your frilly little world
Won't you give me your sweet smile
If you come tonight bring someone
If you come tonight bring someone
Don't come alone
If you come alone don't come
Don't come
Don't come
Yes i know he's right
Yes i know he's right
oh I know he's right
She held his hand and whispered soft
I love you train man
He just grumbled like engine as it rumbles
And said someday
Train man and he knows something's wrong and he's right
Oh yes he's right
White Wall Lyrics – Bob Seger
Springtime of new years, the young thoughts see more dreams
while you live on the wind, how lovely it all seems
With moments yet unshared, and wishes incomplete
The stars above your head, the world beneath your feet
Suddenly your nights, begin to seem so long
There's no one there to touch, when things start going wrong
You finally realise, you've never loved at all
and everywhere you look, you see the white wall
Your father's been too far, your mother's been too near
And now you're on your own, withdrawing in your fear
Through long and sleepless nights, the foxes are running free
You long to be with them, when the scare meets the sea
You climb and then you fall, and then you try again
You curse yourself aloud, for living so weird
and took it to the ground, your eyes are filled with tears
Imprisoned there you lay, in the autumn of your years
while you live on the wind, how lovely it all seems
With moments yet unshared, and wishes incomplete
The stars above your head, the world beneath your feet
Suddenly your nights, begin to seem so long
There's no one there to touch, when things start going wrong
You finally realise, you've never loved at all
and everywhere you look, you see the white wall
Your father's been too far, your mother's been too near
And now you're on your own, withdrawing in your fear
Through long and sleepless nights, the foxes are running free
You long to be with them, when the scare meets the sea
You climb and then you fall, and then you try again
You curse yourself aloud, for living so weird
and took it to the ground, your eyes are filled with tears
Imprisoned there you lay, in the autumn of your years
Black Eyed Girl Lyrics – Bob Seger
Once had a woman I used to watch her walk
Said I once had a woman I used to watch her talk
Yes I once had a woman in my heart in my mind
You know the kind
Once saw my woman with another man
Once saw my woman take a hold of his hand
Said I once saw my woman in my heart in my mind
Ooh Lord she was a mean kind
She was a good woman yeah
Nothing wrong with her
A little bit wild but all right
Now I'm older
I'm real good at tellin lies
But I'll never forget her no no
Even in my heart even in my mind
Black eyed girl of mine
She was a black eyed girl of mine
Shes so good
She's still free comin after you
yeah
Said I once had a woman I used to watch her talk
Yes I once had a woman in my heart in my mind
You know the kind
Once saw my woman with another man
Once saw my woman take a hold of his hand
Said I once saw my woman in my heart in my mind
Ooh Lord she was a mean kind
She was a good woman yeah
Nothing wrong with her
A little bit wild but all right
Now I'm older
I'm real good at tellin lies
But I'll never forget her no no
Even in my heart even in my mind
Black eyed girl of mine
She was a black eyed girl of mine
Shes so good
She's still free comin after you

2+2=? Lyrics – Bob Seger
Yes it's true I am a young man
but I'm old enough to kill
I don't wanna kill nobody
but I must if you so will
And if I raise my hand in question
you just say that I'm a fool
Cause I got the gall to ask you
Can you maybe change the rules
can you stand and call me upstart
Ask what answer can I find, I ain't sayin' I'm a genius
2+2 is on my mind
Well I knew a guy in high school
just an average friendly guy
And he had himself a girlfriend
and you made them say goodbye
Now he's buried in the mud
over foreign jungle land
And his girl just sits and cries
she just doesn't understand
So you say he died for freedom
well if he died to save your lies
Go ahead and call me yellow
2+2 is on my mind
All I know is that I'm young and your rules they are old
If I've got to kill to live
then there's something left untold
I'm no statesman I'm no general
I'm no kid I'll never be
It's the rules not the soldier
that I find the real enemy
I'm no prophet I'm no rebel
I'm just asking you why
I just want a simple answer
why it is I 've got to die
I'm a simple minded guy
2+2 is on my mind
but I'm old enough to kill
I don't wanna kill nobody
but I must if you so will
And if I raise my hand in question
you just say that I'm a fool
Cause I got the gall to ask you
Can you maybe change the rules
can you stand and call me upstart
Ask what answer can I find, I ain't sayin' I'm a genius
2+2 is on my mind
Well I knew a guy in high school
just an average friendly guy
And he had himself a girlfriend
and you made them say goodbye
Now he's buried in the mud
over foreign jungle land
And his girl just sits and cries
she just doesn't understand
So you say he died for freedom
well if he died to save your lies
Go ahead and call me yellow
2+2 is on my mind
All I know is that I'm young and your rules they are old
If I've got to kill to live
then there's something left untold
I'm no statesman I'm no general
I'm no kid I'll never be
It's the rules not the soldier
that I find the real enemy
I'm no prophet I'm no rebel
I'm just asking you why
I just want a simple answer
why it is I 've got to die
I'm a simple minded guy

The Last Song (Love Needs To Be Loved) Lyrics – Bob Seger
Don't you know it doesn't matter
Who you are or what you'd really like to be
Cause it's all without your mind
And you weren't born blind
And you don't have to see
Just keep it in your heart
And if it takes you far
It's a start man
It's a start
Women were sent from heaven above
And love needs to be loved
Needs to be loved
Love needs to be loved
Love needs to be loved
Love needs to be loved
Love needs to be loved
Who you are or what you'd really like to be
Cause it's all without your mind
And you weren't born blind
And you don't have to see
Just keep it in your heart
And if it takes you far
It's a start man
It's a start
Women were sent from heaven above
And love needs to be loved
Needs to be loved
Love needs to be loved
Love needs to be loved
Love needs to be loved
Love needs to be loved
Ballad Of The Yellow Beret Lyrics – Bob Seger
This is a protest against protesters:
Fearless cowards of the U.S.A.
Bravely here at home they stay
They watch their friends get shipped away
The draft dodgers of the Yellow Beret
Yellow streaks up and down their spines
Men who gladly stay behind
They won't fight for the U.S.A.
They fought hard for the yellow beret
Men who faint at the sight of blood
Their high heeled boots weren't meant for mud
The draft board will hear their sob stories today
Only the best the yellow beret
Back at home a young wife waits
Her yellow beret has met his fate
He's been drafted for marching in a protest
Leaving her his last request
Put a yellow streak down my sons back
Make sure that he never ever fights back
At his physical have him say he's gay
Have him win the yellow beret
The yellow beret
Yeah the yellow beret
Fearless cowards of the U.S.A.
Bravely here at home they stay
They watch their friends get shipped away
The draft dodgers of the Yellow Beret
Yellow streaks up and down their spines
Men who gladly stay behind
They won't fight for the U.S.A.
They fought hard for the yellow beret
Men who faint at the sight of blood
Their high heeled boots weren't meant for mud
The draft board will hear their sob stories today
Only the best the yellow beret
Back at home a young wife waits
Her yellow beret has met his fate
He's been drafted for marching in a protest
Leaving her his last request
Put a yellow streak down my sons back
Make sure that he never ever fights back
At his physical have him say he's gay
Have him win the yellow beret
The yellow beret
Yeah the yellow beret

Blue Monday, oh it's blue Monday
Ahh it's blue Monday
Got to work, rather sleep all day

Poor hard Tuesday

And I've got to get my rest, cause Monday is a mess
Can't Hit The Corners No More Lyrics – Bob Seger
The nights never seem so precious
The wind has never been so wild
As you stand here on the shoreline
Just a weathered aging child
Can't hit the corners no more
Feeling like a stranger on the shore
Used to be, you'd never let 'em score
Now you, can't hit the corners no more
The wind has never been so wild
As you stand here on the shoreline
Just a weathered aging child
Can't hit the corners no more
Feeling like a stranger on the shore
Used to be, you'd never let 'em score
Now you, can't hit the corners no more

East L.A. Lyrics – Bob Seger
Me and lady sittin on the bench tonight
Drinkin' warm beer in the soft summer air
Lookin' across the city those starlit hills
Talkin' about those crazy rich people livin' up there on stilts
Must be somethin'
Must be something to live that way
Well we're just across town
A couple of hundred million miles away
In east L.A.
Up early in the morning workin' 9 to 5
We both work full time but we survive
We go out weekends have a pretty good time
We got lots of friends we don't need to spend a dime
Who's to say
Who's to say we don't do okay
Well we're just across town
A couple of hundred million miles away
In East L.A.
So I'm sorry if we can't stay
But it's past midnight and we gotta work today
We gotta be on our way
Drinkin' warm beer in the soft summer air
Lookin' across the city those starlit hills
Talkin' about those crazy rich people livin' up there on stilts
Must be somethin'
Must be something to live that way
Well we're just across town
A couple of hundred million miles away
In east L.A.
Up early in the morning workin' 9 to 5
We both work full time but we survive
We go out weekends have a pretty good time
We got lots of friends we don't need to spend a dime
Who's to say
Who's to say we don't do okay
Well we're just across town
A couple of hundred million miles away
In East L.A.
So I'm sorry if we can't stay
But it's past midnight and we gotta work today
We gotta be on our way
East Side Story Lyrics – Bob Seger
Beneath the bare light bulb above
She gazed into the eyes of love
Bathed in the dirty neon lights
She begged him "don't go out tonight"
If we work out somehow maybe
We could find a way out baby
And he laughed and said "I got to go"
And she cried "no"
Johnny Johnny no
Oh Johnny Johnny no
His arms were warm and strong and young
"I promise I won't hurt no one"
"Oh baby when you gonna learn,
Them folks uptown got bread to burn,
When they see me flash my knife,
They'll be fearin' for their live,
They won't give me trouble this I know"
And she cried no
Oh Johnny Johnny no
Johnny Johnny no
[organ solo]
The night passed like a thousand years
The tenemant room had culled her tears
Then came a knock upon the door
Two men she'd never seen before
"Did you know Johnny Brown miss?
We hate to tell you this but
Has he a relative you know?"
And she cried no
Oh Johnny Johnny no
Oh Johnny why'd you go?
She gazed into the eyes of love
Bathed in the dirty neon lights
She begged him "don't go out tonight"
If we work out somehow maybe
We could find a way out baby
And he laughed and said "I got to go"
And she cried "no"
Johnny Johnny no
Oh Johnny Johnny no
His arms were warm and strong and young
"I promise I won't hurt no one"
"Oh baby when you gonna learn,
Them folks uptown got bread to burn,
When they see me flash my knife,
They'll be fearin' for their live,
They won't give me trouble this I know"
And she cried no
Oh Johnny Johnny no
Johnny Johnny no
[organ solo]
The night passed like a thousand years
The tenemant room had culled her tears
Then came a knock upon the door
Two men she'd never seen before
"Did you know Johnny Brown miss?
We hate to tell you this but
Has he a relative you know?"
And she cried no
Oh Johnny Johnny no
Oh Johnny why'd you go?
Florida Time Lyrics – Bob Seger
It's Florida time
Well we're passin' through Georgia and we're right on time
We're going to florida to have a good time
If we get there ahead of the rest
We'll tan right up so we all look the best
It's Florida time an it's really all right
Find a good girl and just treat her right
The Florida border just round the bend
There's Cindy and Terry and the rest of our friends
The GTO has ten people inside
And the road is lined with guys hitchin' rides
It's Florida time an it's really all right
Grab a good girl and just hold her tight
Florida time
In Florida and some will turn off
Some will hit Daytona and the rest will head south
The Lauderdale beach is just up ahead
I'd like to hit Nassau but my wallet is dead
It's Florida time an it's really all right
Find a good girl and just treat her right
Florida Time
Well we're passin' through Georgia and we're right on time
We're going to florida to have a good time
If we get there ahead of the rest
We'll tan right up so we all look the best
It's Florida time an it's really all right
Find a good girl and just treat her right
The Florida border just round the bend
There's Cindy and Terry and the rest of our friends
The GTO has ten people inside
And the road is lined with guys hitchin' rides
It's Florida time an it's really all right
Grab a good girl and just hold her tight
Florida time
In Florida and some will turn off
Some will hit Daytona and the rest will head south
The Lauderdale beach is just up ahead
I'd like to hit Nassau but my wallet is dead
It's Florida time an it's really all right
Find a good girl and just treat her right

Full Circle Lyrics – Bob Seger
We always come full circle
When nights become too long
I call you when you're crying
And trying to be too strong
And trying to be too strong
But I can't take you with me
You never stand the pace
You tell me that you miss me
And long to see my face
And long to see my face
And who knows why
Who knows why
We always say goodbye
We always have to say goodbye
You tell me about hte family
About the folks back home
You tell me that you miss me
On long distance phone
Late at night on the phone
I tell you about the concerts
I tell you about the crowds
I tell you about the band played
A little bit too loud
Everything's too loud
And who knows why
Who knows why
We always say goodbye
We always have to say goodbye
Always come full circle
When nights become too long
You tell me how you miss me
And I tell you to be strong
I say keep on being strong
When nights become too long
I call you when you're crying
And trying to be too strong
And trying to be too strong
But I can't take you with me
You never stand the pace
You tell me that you miss me
And long to see my face
And long to see my face
And who knows why
Who knows why
We always say goodbye
We always have to say goodbye
You tell me about hte family
About the folks back home
You tell me that you miss me
On long distance phone
Late at night on the phone
I tell you about the concerts
I tell you about the crowds
I tell you about the band played
A little bit too loud
Everything's too loud
And who knows why
Who knows why
We always say goodbye
We always have to say goodbye
Always come full circle
When nights become too long
You tell me how you miss me
And I tell you to be strong
I say keep on being strong

Living Inside My Heart Lyrics – Bob Seger
When the sun came up this morning
And she smiled her smile for me
I felt it for the first time
Something deep inside of me
So you can take your midnight ramblin' boys
And you can keep your winding roads
She's livin' inside my heart now, livin' inside
Oh there's an easiness about her
There's a softness in her way
But she gets me through the hard times
We get closer everyday
I know I'll never be alone now boys
Cause even if I'm far away
She's livin' inside my heart now, livin' inside, yeah
And I don't know what I did to deserve her
But I'll tell you this my friend
I'm never gonna lose her
Never gonna lose her
Cause eve - ry night
She's livin' inside my heart now, livin' inside
And she smiled her smile for me
I felt it for the first time
Something deep inside of me
So you can take your midnight ramblin' boys
And you can keep your winding roads
She's livin' inside my heart now, livin' inside
Oh there's an easiness about her
There's a softness in her way
But she gets me through the hard times
We get closer everyday
I know I'll never be alone now boys
Cause even if I'm far away
She's livin' inside my heart now, livin' inside, yeah
And I don't know what I did to deserve her
But I'll tell you this my friend
I'm never gonna lose her
Never gonna lose her
Cause eve - ry night
She's livin' inside my heart now, livin' inside
Looking Back Lyrics – Bob Seger
You hit the street, you feel them staring
You know they hate you you can feel their eyes a glarin'
Because you're different, because you're free
Because you're everything deep down they wish they could be
[Chorus:]
You're lookin back (lookin back) they're lookin back (lookin back)
Too many people lookin back
You're lookin back (lookin back) they're lookin back (lookin back)
Too many people lookin back
They watch the news, see young men dying
They watch them bleedin' and listen to them lyin'
And if they're normal if they can see
They just reach out and change the channel on the TV
[Chorus]
When they could vote, and end the war
They're much too busy fittin' locks upon the back door
Give you a foxhole, a place to hide
Cause when the war come the cops'll be on their side
[Chorus]
You know they hate you you can feel their eyes a glarin'
Because you're different, because you're free
Because you're everything deep down they wish they could be
[Chorus:]
You're lookin back (lookin back) they're lookin back (lookin back)
Too many people lookin back
You're lookin back (lookin back) they're lookin back (lookin back)
Too many people lookin back
They watch the news, see young men dying
They watch them bleedin' and listen to them lyin'
And if they're normal if they can see
They just reach out and change the channel on the TV
[Chorus]
When they could vote, and end the war
They're much too busy fittin' locks upon the back door
Give you a foxhole, a place to hide
Cause when the war come the cops'll be on their side
[Chorus]
Persecution Smith Lyrics – Bob Seger
He rises every morning but he don't look at the sun
He reaches in the corner where he keeps his loaded gun
Then he checks the firing action,as he straps it to his chest
Plans an ambush for the mailman,even though it's all in jest
He's here he's there he's everywhere
He's found uptown and underground
Unlike my friend flicka you know he's not a myth
He's persecution, persecution, persecution smith
He's found at every protest march you'll see him looking on
He'd soon join in to help but he thinks it's all in fun
Cause he isn't colorblind not to mention no one's fool
He knows how things should be but he ain't out to change no rule
His eyes can't see like you and me
His voice can't speak but only shreik
His brain is like jelly his muscles they are stiff
He's persecution persecution persecution smith
You can't walk down the street no more without him walking by
You can't go to sleep at night without hearing him cry
You can't read a newspaper without reading about him
You can't escape him in the crowd for he will be among them
He's here he's there he's everywhere
He's found uptown and underground
In Watts, California you know who he was with
With persecution persecution persecution smith
When you're finished with your ideals
And you're finished with your dreams
When you're finished your crusading and no longer hear the screams
When you're finished trying to picture a world with people free
When you're finished looking up and the down is all you see
Then make your goal the first foxhole
And hide your head beneath your bed
Cause you won't be alone my friend you know who you'll be with
With persecution persecution persecution smith
He reaches in the corner where he keeps his loaded gun
Then he checks the firing action,as he straps it to his chest
Plans an ambush for the mailman,even though it's all in jest
He's here he's there he's everywhere
He's found uptown and underground
Unlike my friend flicka you know he's not a myth
He's persecution, persecution, persecution smith
He's found at every protest march you'll see him looking on
He'd soon join in to help but he thinks it's all in fun
Cause he isn't colorblind not to mention no one's fool

His eyes can't see like you and me

Sock It To Me Santa Lyrics – Bob Seger
[Talking intro:]
You know what pop? What's that son?
Christmas just isn't gonna be the same this year.
Why is that?
Cause Santa's got a brand new bag!
Come on jump up, ohhhh
Sock it to me Santa, you know what I like
Sock it to me Santa, just bring me a bike
Christmas just won't be a drag, Santa's got a brand new bag
Don't you dare let those children bring you down
You gotta spread those toys all over town
My stocking's all hung so you can see
Don't hang me up Santa lay some toys on me
Sock it to me Santa you know where it's at
Sock it to me Santa I want a baseball bat
Christmas just won't be a drag, cause Santa's got a brand new bag
I say come on Dancer, come on Prancer
A brand new Santa's got to be the answer
Come on Comet, and come on Cupid
Don't just stand there lookin' stupid
[guitar solo]
He's got a bright red cape and a white moustache (sock it to me Santa)
He's got lots of toys but no time for trash (sock it to me Santa)
He's dressed real warm from his head to his toes (sock it to me Santa)
He lost a little weight but his jelly still rolls (sock it to me Santa)
Sock it to me Santa, you heard what I said
Sock it to me Santa, just bring me a sled
Christmas just won't be a drag, cause Santa's got a brand new bag
Sock it to me Santa
Sock it to me Santa
You know what pop? What's that son?
Christmas just isn't gonna be the same this year.
Why is that?
Cause Santa's got a brand new bag!
Come on jump up, ohhhh
Sock it to me Santa, you know what I like
Sock it to me Santa, just bring me a bike
Christmas just won't be a drag, Santa's got a brand new bag
Don't you dare let those children bring you down
You gotta spread those toys all over town
My stocking's all hung so you can see
Don't hang me up Santa lay some toys on me
Sock it to me Santa you know where it's at
Sock it to me Santa I want a baseball bat

The Lonely One Lyrics – Bob Seger
She's gone from me, for someone new
I guess that's what she's done
The people they sigh as I walk by
And they call me the lonely one
They say there goes the lonely one
I guess that's what she's done
The people they sigh as I walk by
And they call me the lonely one
They say there goes the lonely one
Vagrant Winter Lyrics – Bob Seger
Relentlessly the wind blows, without conscience without sound
And the howling echoes louder, from the lonely hungry hounds
Vagrant Winter's in the alley and he's waiting
And you my love come softly now and ease my troubled mind
As we huddle by the fireside
Slowly running out of time
Born December's children, learned to live without a sky
That's beneath the tallest buildings, even our childhood was a lie
Vagrant winter's at the door now and he's moaning
Come closer love and hold me, we may be the next in line
As we huddle by the fireside, slowly running out of time
Vagrant winter's in the moon now and he's stealing
As long as you stay with me love, as long as you are mine
I can make it through the worst, in the vagrant winter time
And the howling echoes louder, from the lonely hungry hounds
Vagrant Winter's in the alley and he's waiting
And you my love come softly now and ease my troubled mind
As we huddle by the fireside
Slowly running out of time
Born December's children, learned to live without a sky
That's beneath the tallest buildings, even our childhood was a lie
Vagrant winter's at the door now and he's moaning
Come closer love and hold me, we may be the next in line
As we huddle by the fireside, slowly running out of time
Vagrant winter's in the moon now and he's stealing
As long as you stay with me love, as long as you are mine
I can make it through the worst, in the vagrant winter time
Very Few Lyrics – Bob Seger
Very few in life composed a symphony
Very few in life sing love's melody
Only some will love but one their whole life through
Only two always, and two are very few
Very few in life find a rainbow's end
Very few in life love then love again
Only some will love but one their whole life through
Only two always, and two are very few
Very few in life sing love's melody
Only some will love but one their whole life through
Only two always, and two are very few
Very few in life find a rainbow's end
Very few in life love then love again
Only some will love but one their whole life through
Only two always, and two are very few
