I've always been a sucker for the way Waylon did covers
and made them his own. This one especially so.
TURN THE PAGE by Bob Seeger
Covered by Waylon Jennings
Verse 1:
Em Em6
On a long and lonesome highway,east of them of all
D D
You can listen to the engine moaning out it's one note song
Dm A A Em
And you think about the one or the girl the night before
Verse 2:
Em
But your thoughts will soon be wondering
Em
The ways they always do
D
When you're ridin' sixteen hours
D
And there's nothin' much to do
D A A
And you don't feel much like ridin',
A6 Em
You just wish the trip was true
Chorus:
D Em
Here I am on the road again,
D Em
There I am one more stage
D A
Here I go,playin' star again
D Em
there I go turn the page
Verse 3: (Change key)
A6 Em
Well you walk into a restaurant strung out from the cold
A D
And you feel the eyes upon you as you're shakin' off your coat
D A
You pretend it doesn't bother you
Em
But you just want to explose
Verse4:
Most times you can't hear 'em talkin',other times you can
Just the same old cliche' is that a woman or a man
And you always seem out numbered
So you don't dare make a stand
Chorus
Verse 5:
Out there in the spot lights
you're a million miles away
Every ounce of energy you try to give away
As the sweat pours from your body
Like the music that you play
Verse 6:
Em
Later in the evening as you lie a waken bed
D
Echoes from the ampliphiers ringing in your head
A Em
And you smoke the day's last cigarette remembering what you said
Chorus 2 times.
