In 1976, he achieved a national breakout with the studio album Night Moves. 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.
Seger's first marriage in 1968 lasted for "one day short of a year". He had a long-term relationship with Jan Dinsdale from 1972 until 1983. In 1987, he married actress Annette Sinclair and they divorced one year later. He married Juanita Dorricott in 1993, in a small private setting at The Village Club, in Bloomfield Hills; they have two children. Seger lives mainly at his home in Orchard Lake Village, Michigan, a suburb of Detroit. He owns a condo in Naples, Florida.
Politically, Seger has characterized himself as a centrist: "[I'm] right down the middle", he remarked. He supported Democrat Hillary Clinton in the 2016 presidential election. He tackled antiestablishment themes in early songs such as "2+2=?" (1968) and "U.M.C. (Upper Middle Class)" (1974), according to Brian McCollum of the Detroit Free Press. On his 2014 album Ride Out, he addressed topics such as gun violence, and wrote "It's Your World" about climate change. On the subject, he said, "There are a lot of culprits in climate change, and everybody's responsible, myself included. Nobody gets a free pass on this one. We've got to change our ways and change them fast.
A roots rocker with a classic raspy, shouting voice, Seger wrote and recorded songs that deal with love, women and blue-collar themes and is an example of heartland rock. Seger has recorded many hits, including "Ramblin' Gamblin' Man", "Night Moves", "Turn the Page", "Still the Same", "We've Got Tonight", "Against the Wind", "You'll Accomp'ny Me", "Shame on the Moon", "Like a Rock", and "Shakedown", which was written for Beverly Hills Cop II (1987). Seger also co-wrote the Eagles' number-one hit "Heartache Tonight", and his iconic recording of "Old Time Rock and Roll" was named one of the Songs of the Century in 2001.
With a career spanning six decades, Seger continues to perform and record today. Seger was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 2004 and the Songwriters Hall of Fame in 2012. Seger was named Billboard's 2015 Legend of Live honoree at the 12th annual Billboard Touring Conference & Awards, held November 18–19 at the Roosevelt Hotel in New York.
Seger was known as one of the last holdouts regarding making his catalog available for digital download and streaming. However, as of 2017, much of his work is available.

East of Omaha
You can listen to the engine
Moanin' out his one note song
You can think about the woman
Or the girl you knew the night before
But your thoughts will soon be wandering
The way they always do
And there's nothin' much to do
And you don't feel much like ridin'
You just wish the trip was through
See here I am
On the road again
There I am
Up on the stage
Here I go
Playin' star again
There I go
Turn the page
Well you walk into a restaurant
Strung out from the road
And you feel the eyes upon you
As you're shakin' off the cold
You pretend it doesn't bother you
But you just want to explode
Most times you can't hear 'em talk
Other times you can
All the same old cliches
"Is that a woman or a man?"
And you always seem outnumbered
You don't dare make a stand
Here I am
On the road again
There I am
Up on the stage
Here I go
Playin' star again
There I go
Turn the page
Out there in the spotlight
You're a million miles away
Every ounce of energy
You try to give away
As the sweat pours out your body
Like the music that you play
Later in the evening
As you lie awake in bed
With the echoes from the amplifiers
Ringin' in your head
You smoke the day's last cigarette
Rememberin' what she said
Here I am
On the road again
There I am
Up on the stage
Here I go
Playin' star again
There I go
Turn the page
Here I am
On the road again
There I am
Up on the stage
Here I go
Playin' star again
There I go
There I go
"Turn the Page" by Bob Seger and The Silver Bullet Band is about the life of a musician on the road. Seger paints a vivid picture of a lonesome highway, east of Omaha, where the singer is riding for sixteen hours with his thoughts wandering. He thinks about the woman or girl he knew the night before, but there's always "nothing much to do" except wait for the trip to end. The lyrics demonstrate how tiring and lonely the road can be for musicians who have to leave behind their loved ones to play music.
In the chorus, the tone shifts to the stage, where the musician is playing, and the audience is watching. Seger refers to the singer as a star, and he's up on the stage again, playing his heart out. However, the life of a rockstar is not always glamorous. The next verse describes how the musician walks into a restaurant, strung out from the road, filled with eyes upon him as he shakes off the cold. People stare, "Is that a woman or a man?" - the musician seems outnumbered and can't make a stand.
Finally, the last verse paints a picture of a musician on stage, a million miles away in the spotlight, pouring out every ounce of energy. But, later in the evening, the echoes from the amplifiers ring in the head. The musician smokes the day's last cigarette and remembers what his loved one said before leaving for the trip. "Turn the Page," as a whole, is a melancholic yet a truthful look into the life of a road-weary musician.

On a long and lonesome highway
Traveling on a lengthy and solitary roadway
East of Omaha
Towards the Eastern side of Omaha
You can listen to the engine
You have the option to hear the sounds of the engine
Moanin' out his one note song
Emitting a monotonous sound
You can think about the woman
One can contemplate about a female person
Or the girl you knew the night before
Or a woman that you met the previous night
But your thoughts will soon be wandering
However, thoughts will quickly divert
The way they always do
As they always tend to do
When you're ridin' sixteen hours
When you have been traveling for sixteen hours
And there's nothin' much to do
You have nothing else to do
And you don't feel much like ridin'
You don't feel like traveling anymore
You just wish the trip was through
You hope the journey ends soon
See here I am
This is me
On the road again
Traveling again
There I am
And there I go
Up on the stage
Performing on a stage
Here I go
I am starting again
Playin' star again
Acting like a celebrity again
There I go
And I am off

Well you walk into a restaurant
You enter a restaurant
Strung out from the road
Feeling exhausted from traveling
And you feel the eyes upon you
And you become aware of people's stares
As you're shakin' off the cold
As you try to warm yourself up
You pretend it doesn't bother you
You pretend not to be affected by their stares
But you just want to explode
But deep down, you feel like breaking down
Most times you can't hear 'em talk
Usually, you can't hear people talking
Other times you can
But other times, you can hear them
All the same old cliches
People saying the same old things
"Is that a woman or a man?"
Questioning the gender of a person
And you always seem outnumbered
You always feel like you're in the minority
You don't dare make a stand
You don't have the courage to take a stand
Out there in the spotlight
Shining in the public eye
You're a million miles away
You feel very distant from reality
Every ounce of energy
All of your energy
You try to give away
You attempt to put it all out there
As the sweat pours out your body
As you perspire profusely
Like the music that you play
Just like the music you produce
Later in the evening
Later during the night
As you lie awake in bed
As you lay in bed awake
With the echoes from the amplifiers
With the sounds from the artists
Ringin' in your head
Echoing in your mind
You smoke the day's last cigarette
You smoke the last cigarette of the day
Rememberin' what she said
Recalling what a female said
There I am
And there I go
On the road again
Traveling again
There I am
And there I go
Up on the stage
Performing on a stage
Here I go
I am starting again
Playin' star again
Acting like a celebrity again
There I go
And I am off

GUYS PRAY FOR SAM AND COLBY THEY BEEN DECEIVED BY DEMONS AND ARE IN DANGER THEY ARE YOUTUBERS❤
God wouldnt allow souls to be trapped on earth, its umbilical and never happened all souls belong to God, so you cant sell your soul to the devil❤
And not everyone is a child of God jesus said it himself youre of your father the devil and your desires are to do his will true children of God are the ones who have been born again spiritually and repented from sin❤
So many people say they love God, but most of them never repented from sin and have a personal relationship with him, and love isnt just a feeling love is doing❤
Familiar spirits are demons
well if I'm wrong I wasted nothing because I got peace and joy from him, but if you're wrong you wasted your entire life!! ❤️🎉 And demons love when people believe that lie that God doesn't exist and they love it when people don't know they are there ❤I copy n paste this everywhere❤
And no one talks about repentance, God will never lower his standards to be okay with your sins, sins is very serious in the eyes of God hes holy and righteous and it seperates us from him❤
Demons exist, and the devil comes to steal kill and destroy and uses people to do so❤
Btw telling the demon to stay doesnt do anything unless you have the holy spirit you arent safe.
People: okay please stay this is your place❤
Demon: okay
People: *leaves*
Demon: *Goes with them anyway*
Demons arent gonna make it obvious they are there so yeah.
Demons are fallen angels that uses the form of our passed away loved ones to make us believe ghost exist and the souls of the person we knew still remains here❤❤
Astrology is demonic before my relationship with God I would always do zodiac signs literally just a bunch of sins put into each one I bet if everyone was sinless zodiac signs wouldn't make sense and literally a cover up for demons❤
Hearts are deceitful above all things, listen to God❤
Depression can be a demon you may need deliverance❤
God said unless you're born again spiritually u will not enter the kingdom of heaven also God doesn't judge us by our good works he's judging us by our sins Gods standards are so high he's that HOLY saying oh my God is using Gods name in vain it's called blasphemy ❤
To get to heaven you must believe with all your heart that Jesus died and rose again paid full price for your sins repent and receive his Holy spirit.

Okay now pray this to be saved and to get to heaven pray out loud
Jesus I confess that you are my lord and savior
I believe in my heart that God raised you from the dead I ask to receive your holy spirit and I repent of my sins with your help❤ by faith in your word I receive salvation now
Thank you for saving me! I am now reborn a christian a child of almighty God I am saved thank you Jesus! Be genuine when praying this
Watch videos on how to receive Gods holy spirit on YT
God creates Jesus redeems The holy spirit changes
Now our good deeds and works we think are good are like filthy rags in the eyes of God
Things to get rid of in your home
1sage
2dream catchers
3crystals
4crystal ball
5ouija board
6 tarot and angel cards
7religious statues
8demonic movies music or video games
9soul times items
10pornography
Now like a theif robbing a store, demons won't make it obvious they are there unless they have to.
Now know you can't save yourself Jesus said I am the way the truth and the life
You have insurance on your house if it ever caught on fire which rarely happens but when it comes to your soul, you play with it like you have forever to make your choice which you don't
150k+ people Die everyday and you never know when it may be you
God spent 9 months shaping and forming you before you were born but only 7 days on earth you're fearfully and wonderfully made beautiful in the eyes of God❤
Don't waste time Hearts are deceitful above all things ask God for wisdom and understanding we are just tiny humans with a 3 pound brain and our imaginations cannot go beyond what we already know❤
Your souls is so valuable both Satan and God want it but it's your choice who you will serve
You serve the devil when you
Lie
Hate
Blasphemy
Disobey
Lazy
Gossip
Gluttony
Wanting what others have cause what God has for you is for you he will never deliver your male to someone else's house
Hate
And unforgivness
And cussing murder and more
And once you die, you're locked with your choice of where you're spending eternity God doesn't care about you doing more good then bad cause he's not judging that God never said that's the way to heaven
So who's lying you or God? Be serious about this❤
God is holy and righteous God is love
So either you would play around because you don't believe hell exist or you don't believe you're going there but the bible makes it very clear
The path to destruction is wide and easy many are on it the path to eternal life is hard and nerrow very few find it and to get into heaven u can only enter through the nerrow gate❤
You dont have to wait until you die to know if youre going to heaven you can know right now 100% where youre going❤
Satan doesnt rule hell this is a myth when lucifer known as satan now became prideful and rebelled against God he took many angels with him Demons are fallen angels we live in a spirital and physical world so hell was made for punishment for satan and his angels and the reason why people go there is because they Align themsleves with the devil in SIN!
Sin separates us from God and the wages of sin is death if youre found guilty with one sin on judgment day you will not enter the kingdom of heaven so the thing is We us humans broken Gods law and jesus paid the fine! So the good news is you dont have to go to hell if you accept him as your lord and savior!
God offered us eternal life as a free gift and you receive it by faith! You dont have to work for it you dont have to pay all you have to do is receive it by faith❤
Don't expect Gods best when you always give him your least don't reject him anymore let him come in and change your life❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

"Turn The Page"
On a long and lonesome highway, east of Omaha
You can listen to the engine moanin' out its one-note song
You can think about the woman, or the girl you knew the night before
But your thoughts will soon be wandering the way they always do
When you're riding sixteen hours and there's nothing much to do
And you don't feel much like riding, you just wish the trip was through
Say, here I am, on a road again
There I am, up on the stage
Here I go, playing the star again
There I go, turn the page
Well, you walk into a restaurant, strung-out from the road
And you feel the eyes upon you as you're shaking off the cold
You pretend it doesn't bother you but you just want to explode
Most times you can't hear 'em talk, other times you can
All the same old clichés: "Is that a woman or a man?"
And you always seem outnumbered, you don't dare make a stand
Here I am, on a road again
There I am, up on the stage
Here I go, playing the star again
There I go, turn the page
Out there in the spotlight you're a million miles away
Every ounce of energy you try to give away
As the sweat pours out your body like the music that you play
Later in the evening as you lie awake in bed
With the echoes from the amplifiers ringin' in your head
You smoke the day's last cigarette, remembering what she said
Ah Here I am, on a road again
There I am, up on the stage
Here I go, playing the star again
There I go, turn the page
Ah, here I am, on a road again
There I am, up on the stage
Here I go, playing the star again
There I go, there I go

I used to listen to the 500 best rock songs every 4th of July as voted by the radio station listeners back in the 80’s and early 90’s and every year the top two songs was Stairway to Heaven number 1 and this song Number 2. The original version by Seger not the remake.
