1. _ I've Got Time
Words and music by bob seger
I was born at the break of dawning
In the last days of the last great war
My father was not in the fighting
And my mother never had to mourn
I was raised, raised and taught to hurry
I've been hurrying and worrying all my days
But now as i'm getting older
I think i'm learning how to run the race
And with you by my side, your heart close to mine,
I've got time
I used to wake up every morning
And lie there far too long
I had no reason for living
Everything i did was wrong
With you, and your faith in me,
Oh, how you made my whole life shine
And i've got time
You, and your faith in me,
Little girl, you made my whole life shine
And i've got time

2. _ Rosalie
Words and music by bob seger
She's quite the mediator
A smoother operator you will never see
She'll see you later
And no one dares disuade her openly
She knows music
And no music till you see
She's got the power
Of loyal teens - queen rosalie
Rosalie... rosalie...rosalie
She's got the classics
Comes from all the corners, corners of the world
So fatastic
She's everybody's little record girl
She knows music
No music till you see
She's got the power... got the power, rosalie...rosalie... rosalie
From chattanooga to good bogalloosa
You can hear them fine
She makes her choices
And it may be best to smilin' when it's choosin' time
Knows music
No music till you see
She's got the power, got the tower, rosalie...rosalie...rosalie
Knows music...knows music...knows music
Rosalie...rosalie

3. _ Midnight Rider
Words and music by greg allman
I got to run to keep from hidin'
And i'm bound to keep on ridin'
I got one more silver dollar
But i'm not gonna let them catch
The midnight rider
I got only the clothes i'm wearin'
And the road goes on forever
I got one more silver dollar
And i'm not gonna let them catch
The midnight rider
I own all the clothes i'm wearin'
Some old bed i'll soon be sharin'
Got me one more silver dollar
And i'm not gonna let them catch
The midnight rider
Not gonna let 'em catch me
Not gonna let 'em catch me
Not gonna let 'em catch me
Not gonna let 'em catch me
Not gonna let 'em catch me
Not gonna let 'em catch me
Not gonna let 'em catch me
Not gonna let 'em catch me
Come on
Keep on riding
Keep on riding
Keep on riding
Midnight, midnight rider

4. _ Back In 72
Words and music by bob seger
Went out in norfork hung on a short short
Livin' with a bottle of wine
To music, ladies and burned out babies
I was tryin' to write a couple of lines
Sherriff gribbs with his grim ad libs
Spoutin' 'bout the crime in the streets
And women were screamin' and some were dreamin'
'bout the crowd between the sheets
You know that music died, hurt my pride
Somehow i got through, back in '72
Somehow we made it to baton rouge
We stayed inside for a week
We weren't in town for no mardi gras
So we decided to sleep
Houston, yes, was a good old guest
Tho knows how bad we wanted to play
But we got homesick for lincoln park
(imagine that) and then we just couldn't stay
Tricky dick, he played it slick
Something i was afraid he'd do
Back in '72 , oh, '72
Then all our new born philosophers
Out went to alert the world
Then some psuedo-intellectuals
Even got it unfurled
Takin' notes on that harvard course
And got me on a bottle of seed
It was so hip to be negative
So square to try and leave
When the waters cleared, it was what we feared
We learned nothin' new,
Back in '72
'72
'72
In '72
Back in '72
Back in '72 back in '72,...

5. _ Neon Sky
Words and music by bob seger
There's the neon sky that i know so well
There's the smoky room where i chose to dwell
Though i hear your heart many miles away
The neon sky tells me i must stay
Through the windy field of another land
I have seen your face, girl, i have held your hand
Though i should be there, with you there today
The neon sky knows that i must stay
Cause the devil's red, but his money's green
That's where i'm from, oh, that's where i've been
On a dusty stage, many years ago,
I chose my road, still i hope you know
That there'll come a day with the neon sky
When we'll walk into the sun, you and i
Yes so he calls, beckons unto me
From the empty hall, from the galleries
And so i must go, leave you here today
Cause the neon sky orders me away
Yes, the devil's red, but his money's green
That's where i'm from, oh, that's where i've been

7. _ The Stealer
Words and music by fraser and rogers
I went down to the center of town
Beneath my feet was the burning ground
Just stood on the corner as sexy as could be
Said "hey good looking, walk away with me"
I said "yeah, i'm your stealer,
Come to steal your love."
Sun was shining, the world was bright,
I said, "tell me darling, where you gonna be tonight?"
"goin' around the corner, where the music's loud.
I'm tired of the city, gonna cat me around."
And i said "yeah, i'm your stealer,
I come to steal your love."
I come to
I come to steal
Goin' around the corner, where the music's loud.
I'm tired of the city, gonna cat me around.
And i said "yeah, i'm your stealer
I come to steal your love.
I'm stealin'...let me steal now...come steal it...
Come steal it...come steal it...

8. _ Turn The Page
on a long and lonesome highway, east of omaha.
You can listen to the engine moaning out it's one lone song
You can 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 your 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.
Say, 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.
Well you walk into a restaurant, strung out from the road,
You can feel the eyes upon you as your shaking 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.
Oh the same old cliche, is that a woman or a man
And you always seem outnumbered, you don't dare make a 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.
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 evening as you lie awake in bed,
With the echos from the amplifiers ringing in your head,
You smoke the days last cigarette, remembering what she said.
Now 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.
Here i am, on the road again. there i am, up on the stage.
Here i go, playing star again.
There i go, there i go.

9. _ So I Wrote You A Song
Words and music by bob seger
I woke up with this feeling
There was something i wanted to say
So i wrote you a song.
Lately girl i've been dreamin'
Dreamin' 'bout you all through the day
So i wrote you a song.
Hope the words will be right
When i see you tonight,
You'll know how i feel.
I'm no longer alone,
Think i've found me a home
And i think it's real.
I woke up with this feeling
Haven't felt it for quite some time,
So i wrote you a song.
All these thoughts i've been dreaming
Somehow i've got to make them right,
Got to make them belong.
Everytime that you're here
Everytime that you're near
Everything is real.
I'm no longer alone,
Think i've found me a home,
And i think it's real,
So i wrote you a song.
