A letra:

 

You can run
You can hide
Never let it inside
Keep livin' your life in the dark
But sooner or later that gentle persuader
Is gonna catch up with your heart
Make you a dreamer, believer
Believin' in love

Right when a man's doin' all that he planned
And he thinks he's got just what he needs
Life will deliver a shock that will shiver him
Drivin' him down to his knees
Make him start givin', livin'
Livin' again

Well it's your mind
That tricks you into leavin' every time
Love will turn you around
Turn you around
Well, it's your heart
That talks you into stayin' where you are
Love will turn you around
Turn you around

Out of the blue she reaches for you
And you tell her you don't have the time
So you move away fast
But you know it won't last
'Cause you can't get her off of your mind
Thoughts are burnin', turnin'
They're turnin' around

How do you know when to stay or to go
And how do you know when it's real
You don't need a sign to make up your mind
You got your heart at the wheel
You wanna start sharin', carin'
Carin' again

Well it's your mind
That tricks you into leavin' every time
Love will turn you around
Turn you around
Well, it's your heart
That talks you into stayin' where you are
Love will turn you around
Turn you around

Love will turn you around
Turn you around
Love will turn you around
Turn you around
Turn you around

A letra:

 

Took a look down a westbound road
Right away I made my choice
Headed out to my big two-wheeler
I was tired of my own voice
Took a bead on the northern plains
And just rolled that power on

12 hours out of Mackinac City
Stopped in a bar to have a brew
Met a girl and we had a few drinks
And I told her what I'd decided to do

She looked out the window a long, long moment
Then she looked into my eyes
She didn't have to say a thing
I knew what she was thinkin'

Roll, roll me away
Won't you roll me away tonight
I, too, am lost, I feel double-crossed
And I'm sick of what's wrong and what's right
We never even said a word
We just walked out and got on that bike
And we rolled
And we rolled clean out of sight

We rolled across the high plains
Deep into the mountains
Felt so good to me
Finally, feelin' free

Somewhere along a high road
The air began to turn cold
She said she missed her home
I headed on alone, oh, oh

Stood alone on a mountain top
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' 'til 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

Roll me away

Roll me away

Come on

Roll me away

Roll

A letra:

 

Tell her try your best jest to make it quick
Whom attend to the sick
'Cause there must be something she can do
This heart is broken in two
Tell her it's a case of emergency
There's a patient by the name of Gregory

Night nurse
Only you alone can quench this Jah thirst
My night nurse, oh gosh
Oh the pain it's getting worse

I don't wanna see no doc
I need attendence from my nurse around the clock
'Cause there's no prescription for me
She's the one, the only remedy

Night nurse
Only you alone can quench this Jah thirst
My night nurse
Oh the pain it's getting worse
I hurt my love

I don't wanna see no doc
I need attendence from my nurse around the clock
'Cause there's no prescription for me
She's the one, the only remedy

Night nurse
Only you alone can quench this Jah thirst
My night nurse
Oh the pain it's getting worse
I hurt my love

And I'm sure
No doctor can cure
Night nurse
Night nurse
