"Turn The Page"
(originally by Bob Seger)



On a long and lonesome highway east of Omaha
You can listen to the engine moanin' out its one note song
Or you can think of the woman, the girl you knew the night before

Your thoughts will soon be wondering the way they always do
When your ridin' sixteen hours and there's notning much to do
And you don't feel much like ridin' you just wish the trip was through

Here I am on the road again
There I am up on the stage
Here I go playin' star again
There I go turn the page

Well you walk in to a restaraunt strung out from the road
You can feel the eyes upon you as your 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 cliches is that a woman or a man
And you always seem outnumbered you don't dare make a stand

Here I am on the road again
There I am up on the stage
Here I go playin' star again
There I go turn the page

Later in the evening as you lie awake in bed
The echoes of the amplifiers ringin' in your head
You smoke the days last cigarette tryin' to remember what she said

Say here I am on the road again
There I am up on the stage
Here I go playin' star again
There I go turn the page

"Twelfth Of Never"

"Twelfth Of Never"



You ask me how much I need you, must I explain
I need you, oh my darling, like roses need rain
You ask how long I'll love you, I'll tell you true
Until the Twelfth of Never, I'll still be loving you

Hold me close, never let me go, hold me close, melt my heart like April snow

I'll love you 'til the bluebells forget to bloom
I'll love you 'til the clover has lost its perfume
And I'll love you 'til the poets run out of rhyme
Until the Twelfth of Never, and that's a long, long time

Hold me close, never let me go, hold me close, melt my heart like April snow

I'll love you 'til the bluebells forget to bloom
I'll love you 'til the clover has lost its perfume
And I'll love you 'til the poets run out of rhyme
Until the Twelfth of Never, and that's a long, long time
Until the Twelfth of Never, and that's a long, long time, a long, long time

"Two Old Sidewinders"

"Two Old Sidewinders"



You load the horses I'll pack the rigger
Let's tell 'em goodbye and walk out the door
One drink and one kiss can lead to too many
We ought to know cause we been there before

Eight hours of ridin' will put us in Houston
Two hours of sleep to make it or bust
Eight seconds of glory you stay in the money
And five year old whiskey to wash down the dust

That ain't no hill for a couple of climbers
That's all we ever intended to be
That ain't no hill for a couple of climbers
Two old sidewinders like you and me

Let's find us a place and a couple of ladies
Someone to lie to someone to trust
Someone who's impressed by a couple of outlaws
Who's gold plated trophies have turned into rust

Now we're damned near broke and we keep buyin' whiskey
Do you think they might settle for a bottle of wine
Well those two over there right there by the jukebox
Yours don't look back hoss but just look at mine

That ain't no hill for a couple of climbers
That's all we ever intended to be
That ain't no hill for a couple of climbers
Two old sidewinders like you and me

"Two Streaks Of Steel"

"Two Streaks Of Steel"



Two streaks of steel stretchin' cross the land
Too far to reach for my baby's hand
I stood and watched her disappear
And in the distance I could hear. whooe

Tomorrow I'll see coming down the track
That same old train that she ain't coming back
For her sweet love that once was mine
Faded just like a whistle's whine. whooe

Two streaks of steel I've been standing beside
Where all that mattered in my life just died
I want to lay across those tracks when that train
Crossed those two streaks steel once again.

Two streaks of steel took my love away
No reason now for me to wanna stay
Next time I'll hear that whistle moan
That all my troubles will be gone. whooe, whooe...

"Unchained Melody"

"Unchained Melody"



Oh my love my darling
I've hungered for your touch
A long lonely time
Time goes by so slowly
And time can do so much
Are you still mine
I need your love
I need your love
God-speed your love
To me.

Lonely rivers flow to the sea, to the sea
To the open arms of the sea
Lonely rivers cry wait for me wait for me
I'll be coming home wait for me

Oh my love my darling
I've hungered for your touch
Such a long lonely time
Time goes by so slowly
And time can do so much
Are you still mine
I need your love
I need your love
God-speed your love
To me.

"Under Your Spell Again"

"Under Your Spell Again"



I swore the last time that you let me down
that I wouldn't see you if you came around
I can't tell my heart what's right or wrong
And I've been so lonely since you've been gone.

You've got me under your spell again
Saying those things again
Making me believe that you're just mine
Dreaming those dreams again
Scheming those schemes again
I've gotta take you back just one more time.

Everybody tells me that I'm a fool
That I never should have put my faith in you
Way down deep inside I guess I know it's true
No one else can make me feel the way you do.

You've got me under your spell again
Saying those things again
Making me believe that you're just mine
Dreaming those dreams again
Scheming those schemes again
I've gotta take you back just one more time.

I've gotta take you back just one more time.
I've gotta take you back just one more time.
I've gotta take you back just one more time...

"Unsatisfied"

"Unsatisfied"


My woman goes about her way hangin' on from day to day God knows she's tried
To do her best for her and me
knowin' that she'll always be unsatisfied.

She tells me everything's alright
but when she should be sleepin' nights
I've heard her cry
But she greeys me like the morning sun
Makes me wish I was the one unsatisfied.

But soon the warmer wind will blow her way I know
And warm her like she never has been warmed before.

Lord she deserves the very best
With me she'll never be addressed, we'd tried and tried
But a man can tell when somethin's wrong
Woman can go just so long unsatisfied,

[Instrumental]

Soon the warmer wind will blow her way I know
And warm her like she never has been warmed before
She deserves the very best with me
She'll never be addressed God knows I've tried
But I can't be what I can't be
She can't live a life with me unsatisfied, unsatisfied.

Unsatisfied, unsatisfied...

"Untitled Waltz"

"Untitled Waltz"


Well I've got an old friend, he's wilder than you are
I don't understand how he stays on his feet
Just when you're thinking he's gonna go too far
He pulls it all in and he don't miss a beat

He's walked beside me, he's never denied me
If hee had to hide me then by God he would
One thing he taught that I carry inside me
We all got where we are as fast as we could

[CHORUS:]
Saints are just sinners who never quit tryin'
Losers are winners who pick their own day
And we're all just beginners when it comes time for dyin'
But rest your mind easy 'cause you'll die anyway

Well I heard of this poet, come hell or high water
Wrote a new poem a day every day of the week
I asked what if some days don't work like they oughta
He said I lower my standards and I get me some sleep

[CHORUS]

So you judges and juries and wild vigilantes
If you got my number, my number's been changed
Me and my woman gonna lay around this shanty
Keep makin' love 'til that's all that remains

[CHORUS]

Rest your mind easy 'cause you'll die...anyway

"Up In Arkansas"

"Up In Arkansas"



Got me a rocker without no arms
Ol' wood stove to keep me warm
My firewood out of the rain
I sit and watch the seasons change

There's a woman in Little Rock
Got plenty of money down in her sock
She come to see me time to time
We sit on the porch and drink our wine

A man ought to know when he's got it all
Holding it down up in Arkansas

Coyotes howl in the night
The rats ate my food but that's alright
They must have needed it more than me
Ain't no sweat i'll eat their cheese

Way back in the woods a hoot-owl calls
Making his rounds up in Arkansas

The eagle flies wild and free
Catches fish down in my creek
I watch him rise on the breeze
I don't bother him he don't bother me

Walmart moves into town
Progress can't keep it down
Tourists come from miles around
I sit on the porch,the sun goes down

But I live way back from it all
Doing alright up in Arkansas

"Waking Up With You"

"Waking Up With You"



Like a sail that's torn and can't ride the wind
Here I stand looking both ways again
I'm a dollar short on a three dollar night
Turning left cause I ain't got no right.
I keep thinking this time maybe it
But somehow all the pieces just won't fit
But I'll always have a dream to hold on to
Just as long as I keep waking up with you.
You told me once that storms never last
I know it's true oh so true
Just when I think the clouds will never pass
Like a silver lining you come shining through.
I know you'll always be there right or wrong
Together we'll keep on keeping on
And I'll always have a dream to hold on to
Just as long as I keep waking up with you.
You told me once that storms never last
I know it's true oh so true
Just when I think the clouds will never pass
Like a silver lining you come shining through.
I know you'll always be there right or wrong
Together we'll keep on keeping on
And I'll always have a dream to hold on to
Just as long as I keep waking up with you.
I'll always have a dream to hold on to
Just as long as I keep waking up with you...
