[Verse 1]
Yeah, hell yeah, now I can hear the gypsy wind a howlin'
Ain't got time to lean against your wall
I gotta hit the road and keep on movin'
I'm gonna roll and smoke and boogie and ball now

[Chorus]
Been abused, got my shoes, paid my dues, teachin' blues

[Verse 2]
Yeah, I'm goin' ridin' to the gates of freedom
Cruisin' till the sun she falls
I'm gonna follow my god into Eden
While I roll and smoke and boogie and ball
Light my fuse, get to choose, teachin' blues

Robert Clark “Bob” Seger (born May 6, 1945) is an American singer-songwriter, guitarist and pianist. 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.
