Took a look down a westbound road
Right away I made my choice
Headed out to my big two-wheeler
I was 1 of my own voice
Took a bead on the northern plains
And just rolled 2 power on

Twelve hours out of Mackinac City
Stopped in a bar to have a 3
Met a girl and we had a few drinks
And I told her what I'd decided to do

She looked out the 4 a long long moment
Then she looked into my eyes
She didn't have to say a thing
I knew 5 she was thinkin'

Roll, roll me away
Won't you roll me away 6
I too am lost, I feel double-crossed
And I'm sick of what's wrong and what's 7
We never even said a word
We just walked out and got on that bike
And we rolled
And we 8 clean out of sight

We rolled across the high plains
Deep 9 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

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
