Armageddon movie - Roll Me Away lyrics

rate me

Song by Bob Seger & the Silver Bullet Band<br /><br>

Took a look down a westbound road,<br>

Right away I made my choice.<br>

Headed out to my big two-wheeler,<br>

I was tired of my own voice.<br>

Took a bead on the northern plains<br>

And just rolled that power on.<br>

<br>

Twelve hours out of Mackinaw City,<br>

Stopped in a bar to have a brew.<br>

Met a girl, and we had a few drinks,<br>

And I told her what I'd decided to do.<br>

She looked out the window a long, long moment,<br>

Then she looked into my eyes.<br>

She didn't have to say a thing,<br>

I knew what she was thinkin'.<br>

<br>

Roll, roll me away,<br>

Won't you roll me away tonight?<br>

I too am lost, I feel double-crossed,<br>

And I'm sick of what's wrong and what's right.<br>

We never even said a word,<br>

We just walked out and got on that bike,<br>

And we rolled,<br>

And we rolled clean out of sight.<br>

<br>

We rolled across the high plains,<br>

Deep into the mountains.<br>

Felt so good to me<br>

Finally feelin' free.<br>

<br>

Somewhere along a high road,<br>

The air began to turn cold.<br>

She said she missed her home.<br>

I headed on alone. Oh!<br>

<br>

Stood alone on a mountain top,<br>

Starin' out at the Great Divide.<br>

I could go east, I could go west,<br>

It was all up to me to decide.<br>

Just then I saw a young hawk flyin',<br>

And my soul began to rise,<br>

And pretty soon, my heart was singin'<br>

<br>

Roll, roll me away,<br>

I'm gonna roll me away tonight.<br>

Gotta keep rollin', gotta keep ridin',<br>

Keep searchin' till I find what's right.<br>

And as the sunset faded<br>

I spoke to the faintest first starlight,<br>

And I said, "Next time,<br>

Next time we'll get it right."<br>

Roll me away. Roll me away. Roll me away.<br>

<br>
