Hi guys,  
I hope you can help with this. It’s a rock song about being on the road. One of the line is about how you can never make a stand because your always out numbered.  
Another line is about the amps ringing in your head as you smoke your last cigarette of the day.  
It’s driving me nuts cause I know as soon as I find out what it is, I will think " why didn’t I remember that.

Bob Segar’s “Turn the Page”. Often covered by other bands, especially Metallica.
