Roll Me Away

Took a look down a westbound road

Right away I made my choice

Headed out to my big two-wheeler

I was tired of my own voice

Took a bead on the northern plains

And just rolled that power on

Twelve hours out of Mackinaw City

Stopped in a bar to have a brew

Met a girl and we had a few drinks

And I told her what I'd decided to do

She looked out the window a long, long moment

Then she looked into my eyes

She didn't have to say a thing

I knew what she was thinkin'

Roll, roll me away

Won't you roll me away tonight?

I too am lost and I feel double-crossed

And I'm sick of what's wrong and what's right

She never even said a word

We just walked out and got on that bike

And we rolled

And we rolled clean out of sight

We rolled across the high plains

Deep into the mountains

Felt so good to me

Finally feelin' free

Somewhere along the high road

The air began to turn cold

She said she missed her home

I headed off alone (Yeah)

Stood alone on a mountain top

Starin' out at the Great Divide

I could go east, I could go west

It was all up to me to decide

Just then I saw a young hawk flyin'

And my soul began to rise

And pretty soon

My heart was singin'

Roll, roll me away

Won't you roll me away tonight?

Gotta keep movin', gotta keep ridin'

Keep searchin' 'til I find what is right

And as the sunset faded

I spoke to the faintest first starlight

I said next time

Next time, we'll get it right

Roll me away

Roll me away

Today

Roll me away

Roll me away
