    "Roll Me Away" tells the story of a restless soul searching for freedom and meaning. The lyrics describe a motorcycle journey across the American landscape, reflecting themes of wanderlust, self-discovery, and the desire for escape. The song's driving rhythm and evocative imagery have resonated with listeners for decades.

    Huge deep rabbit hole you have opened here. Bob is not only in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, but the song writers Hall of Fame. I love it all, but one song that he covered was Ike and Tina Turner’s Nutbush City Limits and It’s off the charts. Give it a listen.

    Bob's classic song "Like A Rock" was used in Chevy truck commercials in the late 80s. It reached #12 on the Hot 100. Also his #1 song "Shakedown" was the theme song for Beverly Hills Cop 2.

    Bob is such a talent. He also cowrote Heartache Tonight with the Eagles. You’ll hear Eagles backup vocals on songs like Against the Wind. You also always hear his Motown roots. Motown influenced him so much. He is truly one of the greatest vocalists and songwriters. You can’t miss with any of his songs. Thanks for covering this one!

I taught my best friend to ride, and I couldn't get her off my dirt bike, I taught all my kids to ride, and we have some great memories. I have a bike in my garage right now.

    AND he wrote his own songs. Check out one from back when he was about 20, 1967 or so, "Ramblin Gamblin Man." He was big here in Detroit from way back before he ever got national radio play. But "Come to Poppa," a straight blues number, is the best!

    I’m a few days late to this, but just in case, I'm throwing this out. As a GenX, Detroit kid, there are many Bob Seger songs that make up the soundtrack of my life--most are mentioned in previous comments. You can’t go wrong with reacting to any of them. But, as no one has mentioned my favorite song by BS&TSBB; I’d recommend “The Fire Inside”. While it is from later in their catalog (and it too often overlooked) the music is phenomenal and the lyrics can land hard.
    Thanks to all three of you, it has been fun discovering your channel.
