Playlist Bob Seger

bob seger - turn the pager

On a long and lonely highway east of Omaha
You can listen to the engine
Moanin' out as one long song
You can think about the woman
Or the girl you knew the night before
And your thoughts will soon be wandering
The way they always do
When you're riding sixteen hours
And there's nothing much to do
You don't feel much like travelin'
You just wish the trip was through

But here I am
On the road again
There I am
Up on the stage
Here I go
Playing the star again
There I go
Turn the page

You walk into a restaurant
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
Sometimes you can here 'em talk
Other times you can't
All the same 'old cliches:
"Is that a woman or a man?"
And you always seem outnumbered
You dare not make a stand, (make a stand)

But here I am
On the road again
There I am
Up on the stage
Here I go
Playing the 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
And the sweat pours from your body
Like the music that you play
Later in the evening
As you lie awake in bed
Echoes of the amplifiers
Ringing in your head
As you smoke the day's last cigarette
Remembering what she said

But here I am
On the road again
There I am
Up on the stage
Here I go
Playing the star again
There I go
Turn the page

There I go
Turn the page
There I go
There I go...

bob seger - against the wind

It seems like yesterday
but it was long ago
Jane was lovely, she was the queen of my nights

There in the darkness with the radio, playing low
And the secrets that we shared the mountains that we moved

Caught like a wildfire out of control
till there was nothing left to burn and nothing left to prove

And I remember what she said to me
How she swore that it never would end
I remember how she held me, oh so tight

Wish I didn't know now what I didn't know then
Against the wind

We were running against the wind
We were young and strong
We were running against the wind

And the years rolled slowly past
And I found myself alone
Surrounded by strangers I thought were my friends
I found myself further and futher from my home

And I guess I lost my way
There were oh so many roads
I was living to run and running to live
Never worried about paying or ever how much I owed

Moving eight miles a minute for months
At a time
Breaking all of the rules that would bend
I began to find myself searching
Searching for shelter again and again
Against the wind

A little something against the wind
I found myself seeking shelter against the wind

Well those drifter days are past me now
I've got so much more to think about
Deadlines and commitments
What to leave in, whar to leave out

Against the wind
I'm still runnin' against the wind
I'm older now but still runnin' against the wind
Well I'm older now but still runnin'
Against the wind, against the wind
I'm still runnin' against the wind
I'm still runnin' against the wind
Against the wind
I'm still runnin' against the wind

bob seger - night moves

I was a little too tall
Could've used a few pounds
Tight pants points hardly reknown
She was a black-haired beauty
With big dark eyes
And points all her
Own sitting way up high

Way up firm and high
Out past the cornfields
Where the woods got heavy
Out in the back seat
Of my '60 Chevy

Workin' on mysteries
Without any clues
Workin' on our night moves
Tryin' to make some
Front page drive-in news
Workin' on our night moves

In the summertime
In the sweet summertime
We weren't in love
Oh no, far from it
We weren't searchin'
For some pie in the sky summit
We were just young
And restless and bored
Livin' by the sword
And we'd steal away
Every chance we could
To the backroom, to the alley
Or the trusty woods

I used her, she used me
But neither one cared
We were gettin' our share
Workin' on our night moves
Tryin' to lose
The awkward teenage blues
Workin' on our night moves
And it was summertime
And oh the wonder
We felt the lightning
And we waited on the thunder
Waited on the thunder
I awoke last night
To the sound of thunder
How far off I sat and wondered
Started humming a song from 1962

Ain't it funny how the night moves
When you just don't seem
To have as much to lose
Strange how the night moves
With autumn closing in

bob seger - shame on the moon

Bob Seger - Shame On The Moon

Until you've been beside a man
You don't know what he wants
You don't know if he cries at night
You don't know if he don't

When nothin' comes easy
Old nightmares are real
Until you've been beside a man
You don't know how he feels

Once inside a woman's heart
A man must keep his head
Heaven opens up the door
Where angels fear to tread

Some men go crazy
Some men go slow
Some men go just where they want
Some men never go

Oh, blame it on midnight
Ooh, shame on the moon

Everywhere it's all around
Comfort in a crowd
Strangers faces all around
Laughin' right out loud

Hey watch where you're goin'
Step light on old toes
'Cause until you've been beside a man
You don't know who he knows

Oh, blame it on midnight
Ooh, shame on the moon
Oh, blame it on midnight
Ooh, shame on the moon

Ooh, ooh, ooh
Blame it on midnight
You can blame it on midnight
Shame, shame, shame, shame on the moon
You can blame it on midnight
Shame on the moon

Blame it on the moon

bob seger - tryin to live my life without you

Tryin' To Live My Life Without You
Bob Seger & The Silver Bullet Band
-from the album "Nine Tonight"

All right, you guys feel funky tonight, ah yeah
this is an old Memphis song, old Memphis song

I used to smoke
Five packs of cigarettes a day
It was the hardest thing
To put them away
I drink four or five bottles of wine
I kept a glass
In my hand all the time
Breaking those habits was hard to do
But nothing compared to the changes
You put me through

*Trying to live my life without you babe
It's the hardest thing I'll ever do
Trying to forget the love we once shared
It's the hardest thing I'll ever have

All right, I said

I had the worst reputation in town
For chasing all the women around
I thought changing my way of living
Was hard to do
But it's nothing compared to the changes
That you put me through
I've done everything I've tried to do
But it's gonna take a miracle
To get me over you

(Repeat *)

bob seger - real love

I think i've found the real love
Genuine and true
I think it's really come my way today babe
I think it's really you

I remember moments looking in your eyes
Could have sworn i saw the spark of love babe
Flickering inside

I've been around this track
And the only thing i lack
Is the real love

Every time i see you, every time we touch
I can feel the way you feel for me babe
And it means so much

And every time you look at me
It's just the way it all should be
In the real love

Oh darlin' darlin' darlin'
Stay with me stay
I long to see you in the morning sun
Everyday everyday

So until that moment
When i take your hand
I'm gonna try to do my very best babe
To prove that i'm your man

I'm gonna do my very best
I'm not gonna rest
Until we've got the real love

Real love
Until we've got the real love

bob seger - always in my heart

I think of you and I together
I picture you and I as one
When we sit there in
The firelight baby
When we wake to the morning sun
And though you may leave me
We're never apart
You're Always In My Heart

When you're standing at the window
With the moonlight in your hair
And you turn and smile
My favorite smile
I just have to stop and stare
And babe when you hold me
I go off the chart
You're Always In My Heart

Stay with me stay
Stay with me babe forever
Be by my side
Lets spend our lives together

I picture you and I together
I think of you and I for years
And if you're ever lost or worries Baby
I'll be there to calm your fears
I think that I've loved you
Right from the start

Always In My Heart
Always In My Heart

bob seger - i wonder

My old friend sirius is riding high tonight
Shinin' down so bright on the harbor lights
I wonder i wonder

Who are these strangers on the street
Seekin' out the heat with their eyes cast down millin' around
I wonder i wonder
I wonder sometimes i wonder

There's a last boat comin' in ghosting on the wind
The moon across the bay lighting his way
I wonder it makes me wonder

What's it like out there tonight far from the city lights
Are your dreams the same
I wonder it makes me wonder
I wonder it makes me wonder

bob seger - sunspot baby

She packed up her bags
And she took off down the road
Left me here stranded
With the bills she owed
She gave me a false address
Took off
With my american express

Sunspot baby
She sure had me way outguessed

She left me here stranded
Like a dog out in the yard
Charged up a fortune
On my credit card
She used my address and my name
Man that was sure unkind

Sunspot baby
She sure has a real good time

I looked in Miami
I looked in Negril
The closest I came
Was a month old bill
I checked the Bahamas
And they said she was gone
I can't understand why
She did me so wrong

But she packed up her bags
And she took off down the road
Said she was going
To visit Sister Flo
She used my address and my name
And man that was sure unkind

Sunspot baby
I'm gonna catch up sometime
Sure had a real good time

bob seger - revisionism street

I saw them standing on a corner
Bathed in ordinary light
They turned away and started walkin'
And faded off into the night
Some years ago they were in fashion
Tonight they couldn't get a seat
They've got themselves a brand new history
From Revisionism Street
Written on Revisionism Street

The years of sacrifice and struggle
The arc of stardom's natural course
The inevitable decline
The wolves waiting at the door
"Let's dig up something really nasty"
"Let's get some clay around their feet"
"No ones memory is sacred 'round here
On Revisionism Street"

"We'll never be in the arena"
"Hey, we'll never have to compete"
"We'll never write a classic novel"
"And we'll never have to be discreet!"

Alfred Hitchcock, Isaac Newton
Elvis Presley, Captain Bligh
They're heroic or pathetic
Depending on which book you buy
Charles Dickens, Jackie Gleason
Burn 'em all, turn up the heat
If there's no truth, use innuendo
this is Revisionism Street

"Let's find ourselves some old acquaintance"
"Let's see what they have to say"
"Some disgruntled ex-employee"
"Presto! Payday!"

A tree falls in the forest
A million copies go to print
Some parasitic little feeder
Sits back and makes a mint
Somewhere a baby's softly sleeping
lt's innocence complete
Unaware they're workin' late tonight
On Revisionism Street

bob seger - no matter who you are

No matter who you are
No matter what you do
There's gonna be someone
Or something else from you
Yeah

This is an ancient test
It's a shiny lie
Discover something pure
And sit and watch you die
Yeah

No matter who you are
No matter where you've been
No matter what you've done
You'll have to start again
No matter who you are

Between the soaring dreams
And the bottom line
So much is given up
So much is left behind
Yeah

This is the price you pay
This is the beast you feed
When you abandon hope
And you give in to greed

No matter who you are
No matter who you've been
You'll have to sort it out
And start again
No matter who you are
No matter who you are

Don't take this wrong
Don't let it bring you down
It's just the way things work
In this great big town
Yeah
Yeah

No matter who you are
No matter who you are
No matter who you are

bob seger - somewhere tonight

Somewhere tonight
Someone's reachin' out to someone who's refusin'
Someone's tired of all the reasons someone's using
Someone doesn't understand

Somewhere tonight
Someone's thinkin' back to someone who got closer
Someone's realizin' something's really over
Someone's thinkin' it's too late
Someone's thinkin' it's too late

There's a cold wind blowin' from the north
And the summer birds are leavin'
As the sun slips ever further south
The lakes will soon be freezin'
And the ice will claim the empty shores
Where the one's in love went walkin'
And the hard blue skies will shiver
As the winter clouds come stalkin'

And unless you find someone to hold
Unless someone starts carin'
Unless you find the warmth you need
Unless someone starts sharin'
When the long, dark nights come closin' in
And the winter winds come howlin'
You don't know if you'll make it
Without someone you can count on

Somewhere tonight
Someone's packin' up and someone's really leavin'

Someone's not quite sad - only disbelievin'
Someone's walkin' out the door
Someone's walkin' out the door

bob seger - famous final scene

Think in terms of bridges burned
Think of seasons that must end
See the rivers rise and fall
They will rise and fall again
Everything must have an end
Like an ocean to a shore
Like a river to a stream
Like a river to a stream
It's the famous final scene
And how you tried to make it work
Did you really think it could
How you tried to make it last
Did you really think it would
Like a guest who stayed too long
Now it's finally time to leave
Yes, it's finally time to leave
Take it calmly and serene
It's the famous final scene
It's been coming on so long
You were just the last to know
It's been a long time since you've smiled
Seems like oh so long ago
Now the stage has all been set
And the nights are growing cold
Soon the winter will be here
And there's no one warm to hold
Now the lines have all been read
And you knew them all by heart
Now you move toward the door
Here it comes the hardest part
Try the handle of the road
Feeling different feeling strange
This can never be arranged
As the light fades from the screen
From the famous final scene

bob seger - the long way home

Winners, losers and small time misusers
Do what they must on their own
Lovers, dreamers and beautiful schemers
All take the long way home
Some have their reasons
Some lose their way
They all want so much to succeed
How do you tell them apart
The best of them leave with their hearts

Now that it's summer
I went to the river
The water was never too cold
Always together through all kinds of weather
We took the long way home
She was the best
I ever knew
Somehow she drifted away

Now that i'm older
The nights seems much colder
I spend too much time alone
Sometimes in summer
I kept thinking of her
And i'll take the long way home
I'll still take the long way home

bob seger - shakedown

No matter what you think you pull you'll find it's not enough
No matter who you think you know you won't get through
It's a given L.A. law
Someone's faster on the draw
No matter where you hide I'm comin' after you
yeah

No matter how the race is run it always ends the same
Another room without a view awaits downtown
You can shake me for a while
Live it up in style
No matter what you do I'm gonna take you down

CHORUS:
Shakedown
Breakdown
Takedown
Everybody wants into the crowded line
Breakdown
Takedown
You're busted
Let down
Your guard
Honey, just about the time you're thinkin' it's alright
Breakdown
Takedown
You're busted

This is a town where everyone is reachin' for the top
This is a place where second best will never do
It's ok to want to shine
But once you step across that line
No matter where you hide I'm comin' after you

Repeat chorus

bob seger
