[Verse 1]
The other side of the mountain
Is where I wanna be
It's a far piece over the mountain
But I hope you'll go with me
I grew up as a dreamer
I found that dreams aren't free
Now I want you here with me

[Verse 2]
I've lived so long near the mountain
It's almost part of me
I want to have it behind me
It blocks out all I can see
It looms up dark and ancient
Its shadow over me
I want it behind me

[Bridge]
All that time
All that precious time
It's gone from you and me
We're givin' up this scene
Oh, we're givin' up this scene
(Oh, oh)

[Verse 3]
Now some will say that we're destined
Some will call it fate
Me, I call it obsession
It's just like love and hate
We're prisoners of our passion
We all seem to find too late
I hope it's not too late
We're givin' up this scene
Ah babe, ah, we're givin' up this scene

[Outro]
We're gettin' out
Ah, we're givin' up this scene
You and me baby
Yeah, we're givin' up this scene
(Oh, oh)

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.
