01. Roll Me Away.

My five previous travel ebooks (here) all had musical titles, so I figured I had to pick a good one for my Summer Road Trip 2022. And since I grew up in Michigan listening to local boy, Bob Seger sing about his life on the road, I thought it only right to pick one of his big hits. However, little did I know when I began planning this trip how the last line "Next time. We'll get it right." would prove to be so prophetic. With that said, I'll let the guy who used to play our high school dances kick off this adventure with his epic lyrics and video of the song below.  

Stood alone on a mountaintop starin' out at the Great Divide.
I could go east, I could go west, it was all up to me to decide.
Just then I saw a young hawk flyin' and my soul began to rise
And pretty soon, My heart was singin'
Roll, roll me away, I'm gonna roll me away tonight
Gotta keep rollin', gotta keep ridin',
keep searchin' till I find what's right
And as the sunset faded, I spoke to the faintest first starlight
And I said next time. Next time. We'll get it right.
