The two hours onstage is great. But I can only play a show and then take a night off. I have to sing for two hours, and then I’ve gotta rest it for a night. So it’s the other 46 hours that are just boring as heck.

Bob Seger

Out past the cornfields where the woods got heavy, out in the back seat of my ’60 Chevy. Workin’ on mysteries without any clues, workin’ on our night moves.

My management tells me, Don’t be optimistic, because it’s the young people’s world now. They want to hear what they want to hear, and you’re a classic rocker. I don’t know if you’re gonna get the play.

Sometimes you can hear them talk, other times you can’t. All the same old cliches, is that a woman or a man?
BOB SEGER

Cliche Men Sometimes
If I want to work, I can. If I want to play golf, or ride my motorcycle, I can. But the rest of it is family. Sometimes you’re not really needed by your family, but you’re there. And my kids like to know I’m there.

With only one thing in common, they got the fire down below.

Common Evil Fire
You go to LA, or you go to New York, and it’s really fun to go there. But they’re not grounded. Everybody is just competing all the time for the limelight. It’s too much entertainment industry. There are too many choices. And it’s distracting to me.
BOB SEGER

Choices Country Fun
When I try to write I try to write something different every time. That’s the challenge.

Challenges Trying Writing
And you pretend it doesn’t bother you, When you just want to explode.

Great sex is wonderful while it’s happening, but who remembers great sex they had in 1983?

Remember Sex Wonderful
Beautiful loser, where you gonna fall? When you realize, you just can’t have it all.

Deep in my soul, I’ve been so lonely, all of my hopes fading away. I’ve longed for love, like everyone else does, I know I’ll keep searching after today.
