Lyrics

[Verse 1]
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
[Verse 2]
Took a bead on the northern plains
And just rolled that power on
[Verse 3]
Twelve hours out or 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 decided to do
[Verse 4]
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'
[Verse 5]
Roll, roll me away
Won't you roll me away tonight
I too am lost I feel double crossed
And I'm sick of what's wrong and what's right
[Verse 6]
We never even said a word
We just walked out and got on that bike
And we rolled
And we rolled clean out of sight
[Verse 7]
We rolled across the high plains
Deep into the mountains
Felt so good to me
Finally feelin' free
[Verse 8]
Some where along a high road
The air began to turn cold
She said she missed her home
I headed on alone
[Verse 9]
Oh
[Verse 10]
Stood alone on a mountaintop
Starin' out at the great divide
I could go east, I could go west
It's all up to me to decide
[Verse 11]
Just then I saw a young hawk flyin'
And my soul began to rise
And pretty soon
My heart was singin'
[Verse 12]
Roll, roll me away
I'm gonna roll me away tonight
Gotta keep rollin', gotta keep ridin'
Keep searchin' till I find what's right
[Verse 13]
And as the sunset faded
I spoke to the faintest first starlight
And I said next time
Next time we'll get it right
[Verse 14]
Roll me away
Roll me away
Tonight
Roll me away
