[Verse 1]
When you're out there on that open road
And you have no place to go
There's a solace in the emptiness
When there is no need to know
You can drift away
You can spend the day without things
When the night comes on
You can spend it without dreams

[Verse 2]
Like a wave out on the open sea
Like a cloud up in the sky
You can move away from earthly things
You don't have to say goodbye
When you're free at last
You can leave your past behind you
Chart a brand new course
Let it take you far away

[Chorus]
You can sail the sea
You can sail the sea inside you
You can leave it all
You can leave it all behind
Yeah

[Verse 3]
When you're out there in the emptiness
And your dreams have been denied
It's time to face the wilderness
And sail the sea inside

In 1973, he put together the Silver Bullet Band, with a group of Detroit-area musicians, with whom he became most successful on the national level with the album Live Bullet, recorded live with the Silver Bullet Band in 1975 at Cobo Hall in Detroit, Michigan. On his studio albums, he also worked extensively with the Alabama-based Muscle Shoals Rhythm Section, which appeared on several of Seger’s best-selling singles and albums.
