Another Bob Seger masterpiece! This song just makes me want to get in my car, roll down the windows, crank up some good music, drive out to some country side where theres no traffic, just beautiful countryside, and just drive the hell out of my car! "Roll Me Away" is like so many classic country "road" songs, BUT it is sooo much more. The scene about the young lady heading back home has much significance. It's talking about the independence, pride, and "balls" of a loner; a person who knows where he stands in life, loves his freedom, won't let anything or anybody stand in the way of "livin'" life. As Merle Haggard sang about, such a person believes that "down every road, there's always one more city. I'm on the road, the highway is my home" (from Merle Haggard, "Lonesome Fugitive"). Great song from the a great song writer and singer.
