Bob Seger - Get Out Of Denver Lyrics
I still remember it was autumn and the moon was shinin'
Our 60 Cadillac was roarin' through Nebraska whinin'
Doin' 120 man the fields was bendin' over
Headin' out for the mountains knowin' we was traveling further
All our fires were blazing and the spinnin' wheels were turnin' turnin'
Brother she was burnin' burnin'
Up walked a Baptist preachin' southern funky school teacher
She had a line on somethin' heavy but we couldn't reach her
We told her that we needed somethin' that would get us goin'
She pulled out all she had and laid it on the counter showin'
All I had to do was lay my money down and pick it up
The cops came bustin' in and then we lit out in our pickup truck go
Get out of Denver better go go
Get out of Denver better go go
Get out of Denver cause you look just like a commie
And you might just be a member better
Better Get out of Denver
Better Get out of Denver
Well red lights were flashin' and the sirens were a-screamin'
We had to pinch each other just to see if we was dreamin'
Made it to Loveland Pass in under less than half an hour
Lord it started drizzlin' and it turned into a thundershower
The rain was drivin' but the Caddy kept on burnin' rubber
We kept on drivin' till we ran into some fog cover
We couldn't see a thing somehow we just kept on goin'
We kept on drivin' all night long and then into the mornin'fog.
It finally lifted when we looked to see where we was at
We're starin' at a Colorado state policeman trooper cat
And go Get out of Denver he said go go
Get out of Denver better go
Get out of Denver better go go
Get out of Denver cause you look just like a commie
And you might just be a member
Better get out of Denver
Better get out of Denver better go
Oh better better better go
Hey go
Ah better better go go go go
Cause you look just like a commie
And you might just be a member better
Get out of Denver better go!

Clever lyric, Bob, and well sung, but did you send Chuck Berry his royalties for the tune?
Groovy tune. I favorite bob seager song
I Did Cause I really am from Denver...That was awhile ago... NOW is more appropriate!!!!
Bob Seger Flat Out kicks ASS!!!!
GREAT JAM!!!! LOVE BOB!
I'm a truck driver. Bob is my cousin. I am s seger. I was always ready to get out of Denver. My cuz got it right.
Used to see your cuz at Pine Knob during the 60s.
🥀🖤🥀AMAZING JOB GUYS🥀🖤🥀👍
uncle Bob!
Got outta Denver 2016! So happy!
I just knew you'd comment lol Still raining UK
Stuart McGoverne 😆 (Yeah, but do you like the song?)
Still raining? It's finally nice in Lakewood, where I'm house sitting, but now I'm half sick on antibiotics for a bad tooth 😥.
This was my go-to song when I was getting ready to move and needed some pep. I don't do drugs, but was still trying to get away from the authorities in Denver, because Denver has a 6-foot limit on snakes, and my pythons were getting big and were pushing that. (Now they're 8 1/2 feet). Stay dry, Stuart. I'll see you on Bernie's threads 💖💕🌸
You look just like a commie and you might just be a member . Great lyric
Rock. Sweet!
Lots of cocaine and beer runs all night for months great fucking part of my life a big learning lesson
why isn't this on spotify :'( can only find the live version!
Apparently Seger is embarrassed by his previous albums, and won't allow them to be remastered or even rereleased. Though in a recent interview he said Jack White had been trying to convince him to do so.
...Great song...Great lyrics...
I still remember it was autumn and the moon was shining
Our 60 Cadillac was roaring through Nebraska whining
Doing 120 man the fields was bending over
Heading out for the mountains knowing we was traveling further
All the fires were blazing and the spinning wheels were turning turning
Had my girl beside me, brother, brother, she was burning burning
Up walked a Baptist preachin' southern funky school teacher
She had a line on something heavy but we couldn't reach her
We told her that we needed something that would get us going
She pulled out all she had and laid it on the counter showing
All I had to do was lay my money down and pick it up
The cops came busting in and then we lit out in a pickup truck
Go! Get out of Denver, baby, go, go
Get out of Denver, better, go
Get out of Denver, better, go, go
Get out of Denver cause you look just like a commie
And you might just be a member
Better get out of Denver
Better get out of Denver
Well, red lights were flashing and the sirens were a-screaming screaming
We had to pinch each other just to see if we were dreaming
Made it to Loveland Pass in under less than half an hour
Lord, it started drizzling and it turned into a thundershower
The rain was driving but the Caddy kept on burning rubber
We kept on driving till we ran into some fog cover
We couldn't see a thing but somehow we just kept on going
We kept on driving all night long and then into the morning fog
It finally lifted when we looked to see where we was at
We're staring at a Colorado state policeman trooper cat
Go! Get out of Denver, better, go
Get out of Denver, better, go, go
Get out of Denver, better, go
Get out of Denver cause you look just like a commie
And you might just be a member
Better get out of Denver
Better get out of Denver
My favorite Bob Seger song,.... tough pick from all of them.
Moter city baby
Perhaps my favorite BS Tune. Now this was certainly a Chuck Berry Inspired tune, and it rocked, the way R&R is supposed to move you.
Grab your Queen and start Lindy Hoppin' R&R never forgets!

I would have loved to have heard a Stevie Ray Vaughan's version of this track......
Ya just cant make it over Loveland Pass in 'under less than half an hour' takes about 90 minutes ;-)) He wrote this in '73; The Tunnels that spare us from having to drive over Loveland Pass opened in'74, which is when the song was released.....Bobby starts off in a Caddy, but all of the sudden he be in a Pickup Truck.....Aint no Commies here man....Try singing this in a Kareoke bar !! Better take a deeeep breath!
I have a friend in Denver and whenever I'm bored I just send him this
beautiful
Now, That's good music! ❤👍🤘
Sure wish he wouldn’t have sold out
RUST BELT ROCK N ROLL. This is AMERICA
dude needs Kanye to boost his career
Get out of Denver . So true and so sad.
One of the greatest songs ever. Reminiscent of Dave Edmonds Crawling from the Wreckage.

Springs Might Open for BOB
'cause you look just like a commie and you just might be a member baby!
How did he pack so many lyrics into a 2.5 minute song?
That's what you call a road trip!!!
Bob was being accused oif being a Commie today he'd be head of the conservative party
cause he’s bob seger
does Detroit proud
Kicking rock and roll right there....
RnR Royalty.
you look just like a commie and you just might be one.....ok let's dissect this line
Get out of Randolph!!!!!!!!!!
Get outta Denver
Bob at his best other than LIVE
That's Jim McCarty of the Detroit Wheels and Cactus on guitar. Monster player who wrote the book on the use of the Ampeg Scrambler.
Years ago at a show in Memphis, he susbstituted Denver with Memphis.
Rockkkk n Roll.
yeah that's the Bob Seger make your foot tap I'm 50 and I got a lot of heart problems let me tell you he gets me do juiced-up
think chuck berry influence shows in this here rock gem?
DEMANDE A H'ygiaphone
Now thats Rock and Roll Bob Seger System Played my High School Elyria Ohio
If this doesn't get you up you're fucking dead. Straight laid it down.
Glad I have cruise control!
I live in Colorado not in Denver, Denver sucks a leftist hell hole suburb of California. Boulder is another leftist dump . Leftists and commies in these cities in Colorado good song though .
Mark JG well hell man..where's a rocking good town in CO?
can confirm
we're being invaded by Californians send help
How does seger get that many thumbs down!......smh
pussies
It cause they can't keep up.
go johnny go go
All 3 of his Michigan shows are sold out. Glad I bought my tickets. Used to see him for $1.50 back in the late 60's.
love to find some of his very early videos from the early seventies. just stripped down rock n roll.
Bob - please play this song at DTE today! Oh yea! Rock it Bob!
I love this!!!!!! This is brilliant
Things to do in Denver when you're dead...
Great song, but I prefer the "Live Bullet" version. In fact, the whole "Live Bullet" album contains most of the Recommended Daily Allowance of Energy you'll need to get you through the day (and night).
Derek Suddreth Best live album ever!
yeah Good in Studio,Great LIVE
Agreed, I like "Looking Back' studio version, but LOVE it on Live Bullet !
I was at day two of the recording of Live Bullet, by far the best kick ass rock and roll concert I have ever been to...The album brings me back to it often...
"All of Chuck's children are out there playing his licks"
I grew up with this song and actually grew up in Denver to boot ......Yes it does rock ....
Awesome music!
There should be a law that any person in America under the age of 35 is REQUIRED to listen to this song at least 10 times!!
( Looks awestruck & scratches head: OH! So THIS is what REAL ROCK & ROLL is supposed to sound like!!!!!! ) Love you forever, Bob!!
cuz u look jus like a commie and u might jus be a member
hell yes
oh yyes.
this is the man.
I was 17, living in Denver (I LOVE THAT CITY) when I first heard this song. I was working at the Lowry AFB Rec Center & my boss asked me to babysit Jake the Cat while he was away. On the 2nd night, he came by the apartment, dropped a $20 bill & a gram of toot on the coffee table, talked to Jake for a minute & then he left. I snorted up the whole gram, smoked a couple bong hits, watched the original Godspell and then put on Live Bullet. When I got to Get Out of Denver, I wanted to learn the lyrics. I played that song over & over for hours (yes, of course, I was up ALL night!), even at 16 RPM, until I had 'em down. I have never forgotten them, and I STILL love the song.........damn near 40 years later.
Wish my boss would leave me some toot on Fridays in my paycheck
I played it over and over when Denver got too crowded in 2016 and I wanted to move. It fueled my motivation.
enjoyed reading that sir! takes me back to the good times also!!
better than springsteen
I said that 30 years ago
I knew that 40 years ago
Bruce has a few songs I like
Sprungsteen sucks dick
yes!
to me! but i im french rocker spring? SUMMER WINTER LOL! bob or nothing! no like rock and blue diffrent groups
Bob. Seger. Flat. Out. Kicks. Ass
b-rad + Ronna
seger, cocker, clapton.....now we have bieber and all these other slugs. please take me back there.
Bieber is hardly relevant anymore. That was like 6 years ago
yeah this is called rock real rock
mistake111 please please..i hate this shit on radio thats why i have satelite radio drivin for a livin cuts like this
WalterJacksonFreeman leon even played for the stones on some sessions
One of the greatest unheralded rock tunes ever! Brings the dead back alive!
u know Bob is alive,right?
did u hear Katmandu?
Look just like a commie and you just might be a member! LOL
Fan for life. First dance I ever went to,first rock&.roll band I ever heard, Detroit Catholic Central H.S.1966. Bob Seger and the Last Heard."East Side Story" just came out on the radio. Detroit has been blessed with many great rockers, Seger is as good as it gets..
My dad has been a fan forever so this is the kind of music I was raised on. I finally got to see him live in 2014
Its not a chuck berry clone, its more of a homage to him.
Austin Raftery absolutely
It's called Rock' 'n Roll!
Austin Raftery Truth!
Have look at the cover by" Eddie & The Hot Rods" kinda speeds this up a bit
Bob seger rocks 4-ever
This man put on one hell of a concert, he had over 3/4 of Freedom Hall up in the aisles dancing back in the 80's, did the same at Rupp Area... He is the man
Yes sir he did! My first concert was in 84 or 85 at Freedom Hall! Nobody tops Bob live!
saw Seger open for KISS at freedom hall. Can not remember the year but he did the Live Bullet album. Thanks for reminding me that I was there.
I have loved this song for ages, but recently evaluated the lyrics and am perplexed by the apparent change in mobile conveyance. Crossing Nebraska he is evidently in a 60 Caddy...when he scores from the southern funky school teacher they then "lit out in a pick up truck", yet later the Caddy is again burning rubber...????
i gotta go for my walk i will leave i-mac runnin but yo cant comment
gotta piss
seger rox.
Way to rip off "Johnny B Good"
go ask bob seger about it. he'll fucking tell you where it came from. if you dont know the workings of music or have a firm grasp on how to play an instrument you really shouldnt speak on matters you know nothing about.
rip off,this is faster than johnny B Good
and it's not about a guitar player
The song was written by Bob Seger while he was touring with BTO before he broke out Nation wide. He needed a power song to get the crowd in the limited time he had on stage opening for them. The song is about the mountain States response to leftist radicals and youth culture at the time. It is know as the song Chuck Berry never wrote....
You seem nice.
Love it!!!!
Always loved his version of this tune.
his version? he wrote it but it is a chuck berry clone.
don't worry seger! I'm getting out of Denver in the morning, Detroit here I come!!! (Flying to Detroit tomorrow for fall break)
my favorite seger song. only heard it once in concert.
Live Bullett
I did this. She was a stewardess from South West airlines - '79 in Fraser Valley
