[Verse 1]
Life is like a big river
Sinkin' or swim, depends on you
You can take or you can be a giver
If you got love you're gonna get through

[Verse 2]
Once, a good woman loved me
Kinda cruel, and she left me one day
Now I'm cyin', she loves another
Gotta go alone the rest of the way

[Verse 3]
Take, the advice of a loser
Who's been livin' too long alone
Follow your heart, follow your rainbow
And one day you'll find you are not alone

As a locally successful Detroit-area artist, he performed and recorded as Bob Seger and the Last Heard and Bob Seger System throughout the 1960s. By the early 1970s, he had dropped the “System” from his recordings and continued to strive for broader success with various other bands. 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.

In 1976, he achieved a national breakout with the studio album Night Moves. The Night Moves title track became his first Billboard Top 5 single and the album started a string six consecutive albums landing in the Billbaord Top 10. The 1980 album, Against the Wind, topped the charts.
