This weekly series
will include as many of my all-time favorite tunes as I can get my grubby
little hands on (so to speak). Now, each
one included in each edition will have some connection with the other—albeit
only as a figment of my imagination, but they will not be numbered. For I just cannot bring myself to rate some
higher than others. So, this will not be
a countdown, but if you are enjoying them as much as I do, it won’t
matter. Besides, with no countdown, this
could go on forever and ever! Oh, and
despite the fact that there is absolutely no way that your musical tastes can
be as exquisite as mine, I welcome any suggestions that you might dare to
make. I am, after all, quite magnanimous
by nature.

Bob Seger
On a long and
lonesome highway
East of Omaha
You can listen to
the engine
Moanin’ out its one
note song
You can think about
the woman
Or the girl you
knew the night before
But your thoughts
will soon be wanderin'
The way they always
do
When you're ridin’
sixteen hours
And there's nothin'
much to do
And you don't feel
much like ridin’
You just wish the
trip was through
Say
Here I am
On a road again
There I am
Up on a stage
Here I go
Playin' the star
again
There I go
Turn the page
Well you walk into
a restaurant
Strung out from the
road
And you feel the
eyes upon you
As you're shakin'
off the cold
You pretend it
doesn't bother you
But you just want
to explode
Most times you
can't hear 'em talk
Other times you can
All the same old
clichés
Is that a woman or
a man
And you always seem
outnumbered
You don't dare make
a stand
Ah
Here I am
On a road again
There I am
Up on a stage
Here I go
Playin' the star
again
There I go
Turn the page
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
Later in the evenin’
As you lie awake in
bed
With the echoes
from the amplifiers
Ringin' in your
head
You smoke the day's
last cigarette
Rememberin’ what
she said
Ah
Here I am
On a road again
There I am
Up on a stage
Here I go
Playin' the star
again
There I go
Turn the page
Ah
Here I am
On a road again
There I am
Up on a stage
Here I go
Playin the star
again
There I go
There I go

Highway Song
Blackfoot
Yeah
Another day
Another dollar
After I’ve sang and
hollered
Oh it’s my way of
livin’
And I can’t change
a thing
Another town is
drawin’ near
Oh baby I wish you
were here
But the only way I
can see you darlin’
Is in my dreams
It’s a highway song
You sing it on and
on
On and on
Well
The hurt you leave
behind
It’s the hurt
that’s on your mind
Oh and last night’s
show
Took its toll on me
Well the city
lights fly by me
As I lay my body in
my bed
Oh and dreams of
you
Dance through my
head
It’s a highway song
You sing it on and
on
On and on
Highway song
Is as lonely
As the road I’m on
Guess those big
wheels are ready to roll
We’ve been flyin’
high and so low
Lord and all this
madness
Ain’t as crazy as
it seems
Everywhere they
stop and stare
I’m just a stranger
on this road
Oh I stand alone
Only in my dreams
Highway song
You sing it on and
on
On and on
Highway song
Is as lonely
As the road I’m on
Well
Highway song
Highway song
You sing it on and
on
On and on
Highway song
Is as lonely
As the road I’m on
