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, I feel double-crossed,
And I'm sick of what's wrong and what's right
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
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 Oh!
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,
I'm gonna roll me away tonight
Gotta keep rollin', gotta keep ridin',
Keep searchin' till I find what's right
And as the sunset faded
I spoke to the faintest first starlight,
And I said, "Next time,
Next time we'll get it right"
Roll me away Roll me away Roll me away
