Lyrics:
I've been around for you
I've been up and down for you
But I just can't get any relief
I've swallowed my pride for you
I've lived and lied for you
But you still make me feel like a thief
You got me stealin' your love away
'Cause you never give it
Peeling the years away
And we can't relive it
I make you laugh
And you make me cry
I believe it's time for me to fly
#REOSpeedwagon #TimeForMeToFly #Rock

This imo is one of the best songs for breaking up with someone that is just taking you for granted. The words are perfect.

[@cherylshutch]

This song is really great, It makes u ask ur self questions, when u feel taken for granted. I have felt this way a few times, and we broke up. The last breakup, was a 20 year marriage. BUT LISTEN TO THE ROCK, OMGOSH!!!!!! THEY ARE AWESOME, RIGHT IN THERE WITH THEIR MUSICAL TALENT, VOCAL TALENT. AMAZING. REO, IS THE MASTERPIECE... ROCK ON !!!!😂😊

The younger ones don't have a clue about how it used to be - and how we waited for this incredible music to come out. Man... we loved it. We lived it. It's so sad now, to see where it has all gone.

I agree

[@craigwhitehouse741]

Pappy's Keepers. I totally agree !! They were the biggest arena bands along with Styx, REO is an exceptional band, every song is a hit...

The Rock and Roll Hall of Fame does in no way live up to its name. Terrible organisation.

I'm 56. Been on drugs for decades until I met her. She gave me the room I needed to get it right. Today I moved into my very first apartment by myself. She's going that way and I'm staying in town. I flew.

[@joedykes2199]

Good luck, brother.

[@PurpleHaze_11]

Yes you did

[@aprilfaughender6458]

2024 anyone

[@christopherwinkler4451]

Yep, but I've been listening to REO Speedwagon since Ridin' The Storm Out (1973). They were the first concert I ever went to, Mar, 13, 1981 at Hampton Coliseum in VA, the Hi Infidelity tour. I was in the navy stationed in Norfolk. April Wine and 707 were the openers. Good concert.

[@merrex4808]

Yes a Great song with actual Lyrics that do not repeat 30 times over and over like most songs. It is like a well written story.

[@markvandeveegaete9595]

This is a timeless song that always touches my soul

[@rhondawilliams5859]

I SAW THIS GREAT BAND!!!!!IN THE 80 s !!!!!!!🎶🎼🎤😘🎵I STILL LOVE R E O SPEEDWAGON!!!!!!!!😎🎶🎼🎤😘🎵

[@PatI-zg9gm]

My favorite song from The Wagon.

[@johncoltrane2395]

I found an incredible comfort in this song, in a time long ago I was living the words. REO got me got me through that awful experience and ultimately gave me the courage to end it. I will never forget that all these years later and still to this day, I considerer this song one of the greatest ever.

[@rebeccabannister5304]

Same here, song got me through bad times

[@annacribbs4142]

Did I just hear WOLFMAN JACK... This goes out to my ex, 9 yrs down the drain.💔Still care Still got love for you but it's past time...🕊️

[@goldenlee5476]

Deep down we were really in love 🥲

[@lexamdelac28]

I listen to this song whenever I have a change coming in my life, like right now. It helps me feel ready and that I'm doing what's best. Love this classic!

[@wendygovier4812]

This song hurts so bad! My uncle committed suicide and this song was all the note said! Rest in peace Dav😢!

[@mehmeh5471]

Takes a lot of courage whether misguided or not. Hopefully there is something more than this mess of a planet

I’m sorry. My father lost the struggle too. Beautiful sentiments for a note 💙

Richrath was a great guitarist.

[@Axess-sv8nq]

I just can't get enough of this song and "Take It On The Run". They're 2 of my most favorite songs of all time! I have SO been there in the situations of both songs!

[@bryanmitiner5484]

Looks like at sometime he had a left hand injury

[@roxannemoser]

Tough Guys from Hi Infidelity is one of the best songs Kevin Cronin ever wrote.

[@captkirk040]

and Roll with the changes!

[@johnhouse3300]

What about keep on loving you???

[@tammyfitzgerald5336]

❤🎉❤🎉❤

[@markponn9622]

Dave you turned me on to Reo Speedwagon. Forever grateful.

[@anthonyjohnson9403]

"I've had enough of the falseness of a worn out relation, enough of the jealousy and intoleration, I make you laugh, and you make me cry. I believe it's time for me to fly." Goddamn, that's all time best songwriting.

[@johnegli1308]

It’s amazing

[@Franchise1718]

Greatness !

[@KAESISCOOL]

Wonderful

[@anthonyjohnson9403]

I believe it was the song, "Roll with the Changes", that first caught my attention with REO. I thought, damn. Those white boys can write.

[@timarb5177]

And we can't relive it!

[@louisbailey4900]

My favorite band. Grew up on em. Classic example of strong writing, master musicians and composers.

[@connormiller2767]

I am 18 and they are my favorite band #KeepOnRockin

That hair...so soft looking and clean, those passion filled eyes revealing how much he loves what he does, the voice that makes the heart dance....man, he might be almost 70 yrs old now but I still love and adore him! 💕💜❤️💜💕💕💜❤️

[@unclenick2004]

This is music for the soul.... please transport me back to the 80’s

[@jamesdemetro8819]

Or 70s..in this case

[@robynstemann1220]

Totally agree!! Music at its best!!!! Love it

[@abelincoln8667]

When I was stationed on Okinawa they played this all the time. '85 - '88

[@cliffherren9811]

Probably one of the best songs from them along with "Ridin' The Storm Out" in my opinion. I don't just focus "hits" or what radio thinks.

[@lemurianchick]

Also "Roll With The Changes" and "Keep On Lovin' You."

[@renekackline2377]

Try listening to Ridin'the Storm Out. You are gonna LOVE IT! Lot of energy! REO ROCKS!!!🎶

[@kathleendonnan8008]

Love it, brings me back to my teenage years, never forget reo speedwagon

[@carlosbuscatore]

Keep on Loving you

[@rickylovesyou]

Dude you arent cool or unique lol. Dont try too hard and just enjoy their music. All their songs were hits.. Deal with it.

[@puzzledinnewmotherhood8247]

Today marks a week since I lost my gpa. This song will be played next week at his funeral Saturday. I wish I could listen to it with him one more time. ❤ I love you my music man. 🎶 ❤😢

[@cecileroy557]

So sorry!!

[@timcdono7738]

Midnight Special - good times.

[@davidtoney8399]

No other D.J. like Wolfman Jack.

[@user-qx1zt8mq4q]

REO is one of the Best story tellers there is . Look at Gary Richrath shreding away like it's nothing.

[@manwithumbrella]

Uh, it's shredding, and there was none of that going on in this tune, very simple solo.

[@chetdelucia4640]

Awesome song,Awesome band. He put his heart and soul into the band and made it.

[@theenchanteduniverseoflife1450]

Im not the only one who is listening to this masterpiece in July

[@janiceschiffman4659]

I'm listening

[@jeremymurphy7320]

I just saw them live on July 3 and here I am on KZbin. I forgot how much I liked this song. BTW, they sounded awesome. Kevin Cronin still sounds amazing.

[@metermanx]

Sounded like Wolfman Jack doing the intro. Yeah, those days were the best.

[@tonyasprague9181]

This was my uncle's favorite song and he passed away. So when I feel sad I just listen to this song.

[@Sunshine-do3yv]

Man i wish i. Had my old speakers.......turn it up!!!!🎵🎶🎼🦋🦋🦋 love it..... memories.....thank you for the time for me to fly!!!!

[@xyz2121]

What a stupendous band they were . So many great songs, so many great feelings. One of the best ever.

[@airmanalex1]

No lip sync, no auto tune.... just real musicians....

[@dell3229]

Auto tune when used properly isn’t a crutch, it’s merely pitch correction. And it’s rarely used live with rock and metal acts today. You can be a phenomenal vocalist and still benefit from it because simply put: stuff in perfect key sounds better. I will agree that the guys using it for vocal effects or actually using it to sound good are just dumb.

[@artheriford]

Minus Gary and Alan

[@bryan9029]

Seriously and to think Yoko Ono is his voice coach.

[@bryan9029]

The Beatles used it all the time.

[@user79592]

Exactly. Unlike UN-American Bandstand.

[@cjross7297]

A song our band covers....loved it since I was a teenager

[@jamesmorrell2901]

I saw REO Speedwagon at Illinois Wesleyan University in 1969 or 70 when they were a local band, and before they became a national success. You could tell even then that they were destined for greatness.

[@bobsworld615]

James Morrell Apparently that's how they got their recording contract with EPIC. They saw them playing live and they were so good and the audience loved them. It was raining and everyone stayed out in the rain to watch them.

[@lisamcbride8921]

I'm in a nursing facility recovering from a broken hip and subsequent hip surgery! Sitting here trying not to dance in my chair. It's hard!
