Turn the Page is a cover by Metallica of Bob Seger's hit. The lyrics of the song reflect on the ups and downs of a singer whose spent years travelling and living the rock and roll lifestyle - I'm sure Metallica saw a bit of themselves in those lyrics and chose to cover the song.
Turn the Page was featured as a single from the Garage Days Inc
album.Turn The Page Lyrics
On a long and lonesome highway, east of Omaha
You can listen to the engine moanin' out it's one note 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're riding sixteen hours and there's nothing there to do
And you don't feel much like riding, you just wish the trip was through
Here I am, on the road again
There I am, on the stage
Here I go, playing star again
There I go, turn the page
Well you walk into a restaurant all 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
Most times you can't hear 'em talk, other times you can
All the same old cliches, is it woman is it man?
You always seem outnumbered, so you don't dare make a stand
Here I am, on the road again
There I am, 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 echoes from the amplifiers ringin' in your head
You smoke the days last cigarette, remembering what she said
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, on the stage yeah
Here I go, playing star again
There I go, there I go
