Roll Me Away Lyrics

Lyric discussion by Andjelina 

Cover art for Roll Me Away lyrics by Bob Seger

"Next time we'll get it right"...what does it mean?

@Andjelina pretty obvious - he met a girl in a bar, she wanted to come with him, and she did, but when he wanted to keep going she decided she missed her home and family - so she left him and he went on alone - he looked at the hawk soaring and said that is me - and then at the first star - saying next time he meets someone special he'll get it right... Kind of a play of wish upon a star...

@Andjelina That’s my favorite part of the song… the grand climax! I don’t think it’s obvious at all, especially with his angst throughout the entire song, even before the met the girl. Perhaps he was getting away from a failed part of his life when he first headed out. It seems to speak to a more general tendency of humans to screw things up and yet striving to make things better.
