Metallica – Turn the Page

Ginger Lynn Allen: “I’ve always been an exhibitionist. I guess I would say, yes, I always wanted to be in the entertainment business without really realizing it… and I am now.”

On a long and lonely highway, east of Omaha,

You can listen to the engine moanin’ out as one long song,

You can think about the woman or the girl you knew the night before.

And your thoughts will soon be wandering, the way they always do,

When you’re riding sixteen hours and there’s nothing much to do.

You don’t feel much like travelin’, you just wish the trip were through.

CHORUS:

But here I am, on the road again.

Here I am, up on the stage

Here I go, playing the star again.

There I go, turn the page.

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.

Sometimes you can hear ‘em talk, other times you can’t.

All the same old clichés: “Is that a woman or a man?”

And you always seem out-numbered, you dare not make a stand.

CHORUS

Out there in the spotlight, you’re a million miles away.

Every ounce of energy, you try to give away.

And the sweat pours from your body like the music that you play.

Later in the evening, as you lie awake in bed,

Echoes of the amplifiers ringin’ in your head,

As you smoke the day’s last cigarette, remember what she said.

Ginger Lynn Allen: “I do it for the money, and I can change my life, and I can be what society wants me to be, and I can raise my daughter just as good as anybody else can.”

CHORUS

Ginger Lynn Allen: “If I could start my life all over again, I would make the exact same choices that I’ve made. I think I would make them because of the woman that I am, and the things I’ve learned from making the choices I have. I’m proud of who I am.”
