Metallica - Turn the Page lyrics
[Metallica - Turn the Page lyrics]
On a long and lonesome highway east of Omaha
You can listen to the engines moaning
Out it's one old 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 you are riding sixteen hours and
There's nothing much to do
You don't feel much like riding
You just wish the trip was through
But here I am, on the road again
There I am, up on the stage
There I go, playing the star again
There I go, turn the page
So you walk into this restaurant
Strung out from the road
And you feel the eyes upon you
As you're shaking off the cold
You pretend it doesn't bother you
But you just want to explode
And most times you can't hear them talk
Other times you can
All the same old cliches: is
It woman? Is it man?
And you always seem outnumbered, you
Don't dare make a stand, make your stand
But here I am, on the road again
There I am, up on the stage
Here I go, playing 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
And the sweat pours out your body
Like the music that you play
Later in the evening, as you lie awake in bed
With the echoes of the amplifiers
Ringing in your head
You smoke the day's last cigarette
Remembering what she said what she said
Yeah!
Yeah!
But here I am, on the road again
There I am, up on the stage
Here I go, playing the star again
There I go, turn the page
There I go, turn that page
There I go, yeah, there I go, yeah
There I go, yeah, here I go
There I go, there I go and I'm gone
You can listen to the engines moaning
Out it's one old 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 you are riding sixteen hours and
There's nothing much to do
You don't feel much like riding
You just wish the trip was through
But here I am, on the road again
There I am, up on the stage
There I go, playing the star again
There I go, turn the page
So you walk into this restaurant
Strung out from the road
And you feel the eyes upon you
As you're shaking off the cold
You pretend it doesn't bother you
But you just want to explode
And most times you can't hear them talk
Other times you can
All the same old cliches: is
It woman? Is it man?
And you always seem outnumbered, you
Don't dare make a stand, make your stand
But here I am, on the road again
There I am, up on the stage
Here I go, playing 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
And the sweat pours out your body
Like the music that you play
Later in the evening, as you lie awake in bed
With the echoes of the amplifiers
Ringing in your head
You smoke the day's last cigarette
Remembering what she said what she said
Yeah!
Yeah!
But here I am, on the road again
There I am, up on the stage
Here I go, playing the star again
There I go, turn the page
There I go, turn that page
There I go, yeah, there I go, yeah
There I go, yeah, here I go
There I go, there I go and I'm gone
