Yeah, I am known to download things from the internet here and there. No, not what you think. At times download chords to songs I want to play to myself. Thankfully, there are a lot of people who try to transcribe songs from what they here and provide that for further exploration on the internet. (My favorite site is OLGA (Online Guitar Archive) by the way. Lots of Waylon Jennings and Johnny Cash there....).

From time to time, though, I stumble upon lyrics to songs so utterly misheard and penned down wrongly, that I shake my head in amazed disbelief. And leave 'em like that. Sometimes I even sing 'em like that, because they are so weird, it's just great. This one here is my absolute favorite, (I swear it is  for real, I swear)

 

BOB SEEGER / METALLICA - "Turn the page"

On a long and lonesome highway, east of them all

you can listen to the engine moaning out it's one note song

and you think about the woman or the girl you had the night before

 

But your thoughts will soon be wondering, the ways they always do

when you're ridin' sixteen hours and there's nothing much to do

and you don't feel much like ridin', you just wish the trip was true

 

Here I am on the road again

There I am one more stage

Here I go, playin' a star again

there I go, turn the page

 

Well you're walkin' to a restaurant, strung out from the cold

and you feel the eyes upon you as you're chakin' off the coat

you pretend it doesn't bother you but you just want to explose

 

Most times you can har them talkin', other times you can't

it's the same old preachey, is there a woman or a man

and you always see my thunder, so you don't dare they make a stair

 

Chorus

 

After there in the spot lights you're a million miles away

every outs of energy you try to give away

as the swipe bose from your body like the music that you play

 

Later in the evening as you lie a waken bed

echoes from the ack fires ringing in your head

and you smoke the day's last cigarette remembering what you said

 

Chorus

east of Omaha

 

 

 

wandering

 

through

 

 

 

 

 

walk into a restaurant

shaking off your coat

explode (obviously)

 

 

cliché, is it a woman, is it man

seem outnumbered ..  to make a stand (a stair?)

 

 

 

Out there

every ounce of

as the sweat pours

 

awake
