About

Barely noticed in its original release on “Back in ‘72,” Turn the Page was a huge hit for Bob Seger when released as a live track on “Live Bullet” in 1976. It is one of the very best songs ever written about the difficulties of living on the road as a traveling performer. It shows the contrast betwe...

Turn the Page (Live) Lyrics

[Intro]
This is from '72 also
About bein' on the road
It's called "Turn the Page," yeah
One two three and

[Verse 1]
On a long and lonesome highway, east of Omaha
You can listen to the engine moanin' out his one note song
You can think about the woman or the girl you knew the night before
But your thoughts will soon be wanderin' the way they always do
When you're ridin' sixteen hours and there's nothin' much to do
And you don't feel much like ridin', you just wish the trip was through

[Chorus]
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

[Verse 2]
Well, you walk into a restaurant strung out from the road
And you feel the eyes upon you as you're shakin' off the cold
You pretend it doesn't bother you but you just want to explode
Most times you can't hear 'em talk, other times you can
All the same old cliches, "Is that a woman or a man?"
And you always seem outnumbered; you don't dare make a stand

[Chorus]
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

[Verse 3]
Out there in the spotlight you're a million miles away
Every ounce of energy you try to give away
As the sweat pours out your body like the music that you play
Later in the evening as you lie awake in bed
With the echoes from the amplifiers ringin' in your head
You smoke the day's last cigarette, rememberin' what she said

[Chorus]
Ah, 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
Ah, here I am
On the road again
There I am
Up on a stage
Here I go
Playin' star again
There I go
There I go

[Outro]
Thank you
