meryl23333 Posted July 6, 2006 Report Share Posted July 6, 2006 Looking for artist and title for a current song, sounds like a country artist maybe, lyrics include "Here I am on the road again, here I am up on the stage...." My radio plays it all the time but never says what it is. Thanks anyone. Liz Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheLizard Posted July 6, 2006 Report Share Posted July 6, 2006 That song is "Turn the Page" by Bob Seger. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lucky Posted July 6, 2006 Report Share Posted July 6, 2006 (edited) Liz,I believe that is Turn The Page. Originally by Bob Seger (I guess he could sound country?), then covered by Metallica. Hang on a minute, someone is going to come along with the particulars... Here's your lyrics -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- On a long and lonesome highway east of Omaha You can listen to the engines moaning out as one note song You think about the woman or the girl you knew the night before But your thoughts will soon be wandering the way they always do When you're riding sixteen hours and there's nothing much to do And you don't feel much like riding, you just wish the trip was through Here I am - on the road again There I am - up on the stage Here I go - playing star again There I go - turn the page So you walk into this 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 Yeah, most times you can't hear 'em talk, other times you can All the same old cliches, "Is it woman? Is it man?" And you always seem outnumbered, you don't dare make a stand Make your stand Here I am - on the road again There I am - up on the stage Here I go - playing star again There I go - turn the page Oo-ooh, 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, yeah Later in the evening, you lie awake in bed With the echoes of the amplifiers ringing in your head You smoke the day's last cigarette, remembering what she said What she said He-ey Yeah And here I am - on the road again There I am - up on a stage Here I go - playing star again There I go - turn the page There I go - turn that page There I go, yeah, yeah There I go, yeah, yeah There I go, yeah There I go, yeah There I go, oo-oo-ooh There I go And I'm gone Edited July 6, 2006 by Guest Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
meryl23333 Posted July 6, 2006 Author Report Share Posted July 6, 2006 Thanks for the replies. I thought it was something new since my radio station just did start playing it. Wow! It does sound like Bob Seger. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheLizard Posted July 6, 2006 Report Share Posted July 6, 2006 Wow! It does sound like Bob Seger. That would make sense, because it is Bob Seger. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MotoRacerX36 Posted July 6, 2006 Report Share Posted July 6, 2006 Come over to the east coast. You'll be sick of the song after 10 minutes of being here. Waaaaaay overplayed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
meryl23333 Posted July 7, 2006 Author Report Share Posted July 7, 2006 The "Wow" was because it sounds as if it's an old song and my radio station has just begun to play it. Yeah, I know what Bob Seger sounds like. Liz Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lucky Posted July 7, 2006 Report Share Posted July 7, 2006 Liz, here's what Wikepedia has to say: "Turn the Page" is a song written and recorded by Bob Seger. The song was originally released by Seger in 1973 on his Back in '72 album. Seger's version never made the charts, but an evocative live performance on his 1976 Live Bullet album became a mainstay of album-oriented rock radio stations, and still gets significant airplay to this day on classic rock stations." I don't know where your station has been for the past 30 odd years, unless they've just recycled their playlist. It is overplayed, but is still a great song.

MindCrime Posted July 7, 2006 Report Share Posted July 7, 2006 Usually, as a rule of nature, broadcasting stations will update or alter their regulatory track list, in effort to produce better ratings with in-field listeners. Part of the reason that causes stations to change their entire lineup, including genre of music played. Please revert to "Airheads" for an example of this.
