Roll Me Away 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
Took a bead on the northern plains
And just rolled that power on

[Verse 2]
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
Knew what she was thinkin'

[Chorus]
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
We nеver even said a word
Wе just walked out and got on that bike
And we rolled
And we rolled clean out of sight
[Bridge]
We rolled across the high plains
Deep into the mountains
Felt so good to me
Finally feelin' free
Somewhere along a high road
The air began to turn cold
She said she missed her home
I headed on alone

[Verse 3]
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
Then I saw a young hawk flyin'
And my soul begin to rise
Oh, and pretty soon
My heart was singin'

[Chorus]
Roll, roll me away
I'm gonna roll me away tonight
I gotta keep rollin'
I gotta keep ridin'
Keep searchin' 'til I find what's right
And as the sunset faded I spoke
To the faintest first starlight
And I said next time
Oh, next time we'll get it right

How to Format Lyrics:

  • Type out all lyrics, even repeating song parts like the chorus
  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]
