He's drifting back in time and recollecting his memories of her on Main St when he's feeling lonely and bored. A better question would be what songs of Bob Seger weren't hits.
I had your thoughts too, he never talked to her but comes back just to feel that same great feeling seeing her beauty but she isn't there. He blew his opportunity
He's not saying that he literally goes back to Main Street. He says "When I'm feeling lonely and beat, I drift back in time and I find my feet, back on Main Street!" He's remembering her. He goes back in time in his mind to remember her walking down Main Street.
Bob Seger is a great rock singer, songwriter & musician known for his raspy powerful voice. He wrote & recorded songs that dealt with love, women & blue-collar themes. "Turn The Page" is my favorite by him. But he had so many great songs especially in the 70's-80's such as "Ramblin' Gamblin' Man", "Night Moves", "Still The Same", "Hollywood Nights", "Against The Wind", "You'll Accomp'ny Me", "Shame On The Moon", "Roll Me Away", "Like A Rock", "Shakedown", "We've Got Tonight", "Old Time Rock & Roll" etc.
As someone said above, this is all melancholy and nostalgia. About 95% of Seger’s stuff is nostalgic. There’s one you’ve probably heard: Like a Rock? 👍
Bob Seger And The Silver Bullet Band - Turn the Page (live) is one of my favorite songs. Also, Against The Wind Oh, and Night Moves is a good one and Mainstreet also Still the Same
I always viewed this as him in his youth not old enough to enter the clubs and she was just old enough. The song is about him reminiscing his younger years desire to meet the girl.
Love this song. Have for many, many yrs. Bob Seger is a true legend. A superb story teller in many of his songs. One of the greatest artists of all time, imho. He has many great songs and, a lot of them will touch you. Many will also rock you! So, enjoy the Bob Seger library my Man. I guarantee, he won't let you down. Great job Bro. PS. Listen again, he says, "I drift back in time and I find my feet, down on Mainstreet" He is re-living old memories of his younger yrs my Man. Listen again and you'll catch it.
I heard Seger on a radio program in 1998 where he was promoting a greatest hits collection CD or something. He said this song was about when he was still an underaged boy in Ann Arbor Michigan and what he remembers doing or experiencing
Very very early Seger was a song called East Side Story. You could see he was headed fore superstardom then. 1964 I believe. Confirmed stardom was his hit "Ramblin Gamblin Man" in the late sixties. He was a Detroit boy by the way. Many many hits followed. "Her Strut" is one of my favorites.
Insight back in the days before clubs where you could go watch girls dance live, you had to watch behind glass they were in a room with a glass front. He goes back in his mind and thinks of her
So many good songs. Roll Me Away, Horizontal Bop, Betty Lou, Feel Like a Number, The Famous Final Scene, and Hollywood Nights. Just a few. So many more as well.
Yep! One of the many, many hits that Bob had through his long career. "Roll Me Away", " Like A Rock", "Nutbush City" and "Night Moves" are some of my favorites. BTW, he goes back to Main Street in his thoughts. He's reminiscing.
As deep as his music was this was my favorite. I finally got to see him on his Final Tour, and it was 3 1/2 hours of AWESOME😎 He had the biggest bass saxophone I've ever seen😲 Not on this song though. This is what music sounded like before everything turned into plastic.
His reference to the pool hall makes me think he was too young to go in because you had to be 21. So I think he was a teenager with a crush on this dancer, but too young to really approach her. And now he's much older but just likes to remember her as she was.
I think that he knew it wasn't meant to be , he went home and got on with his life . But when he's feeling lonely and beat , he drifts back in time and he finds his feet down on main street ( Reminiscing)
No stalking,since the beginning of time young men and women have conveniently just happened to be around when a crush walks on by. Stalking is a different animal. When I was young I had both kinds of attention,you feel the difference hard.😊
Them dudes falling for the lure and magic of them beautiful young dancers (strippers). Kenny Rogers does a song with a similar theme. Called “Scarlett Fever”.
I’m sorry but you are way off base. First, Bob Seger is all Rock and Roll. Stalker? No, listen to the song again without the purpose of “analyzing”. It’s a beautifully iconic song of a man admiring a “lovely dancer”… Bob’s music is of and for the “common” people. Main Street is a statement of: no matter what you must do to make money, it’s okay, and you’re beautiful (my interpretation). I feel … so much of “getting lost” in the beauty of the music - for what it is and the musicianship, is being lost; for the purpose of analyzing and labeling. Just enjoy it.

Yeah I can name like 20 songs that were mainstay radio tracks
I had your thoughts too, he never talked to her but comes back just to feel that same great feeling seeing her beauty but she isn't there. He blew his opportunity
Bob is one of the best storytellers. He had a treasure trove of great hits. Thanks for reacting to Bob Seger. 👏👏
No, man..."I drift back in time, and I find my feet...down on Main Street." He's remembering. Melancholy and nostalgia.

He’s a deep rabbit hole. His voice and the nostalgia he brings to his songs is something special.
(We've got tonight) was one of Bob Segers great tunes..

The sweetest song ever about being in a strip club .. his voice is just amazing
I heard Seger on a radio program in 1998 where he was promoting a greatest hits collection CD or something. He said this song was about when he was still an underaged boy in Ann Arbor Michigan and what he remembers doing or experiencing
Roll me Away , another Seger banger 🔥🔥🔥
Very very early Seger was a song called East Side Story. You could see he was headed fore superstardom then. 1964 I believe. Confirmed stardom was his hit "Ramblin Gamblin Man" in the late sixties. He was a Detroit boy by the way. Many many hits followed. "Her Strut" is one of my favorites.
I don't know about 'hits', but it's one of his best. Also: Turn the Page, Against the Wind, Night Moves..... He's great!
Master break down indeed. Very thoughtful and talented take of an American legend!!!
Bob Seger is one of the greatest storytellers you will ever hear! Try - Turn The Page, Like A Rock, The Fire Inside, his list is endless...Enjoy!!
Insight back in the days before clubs where you could go watch girls dance live, you had to watch behind glass they were in a room with a glass front. He goes back in his mind and thinks of her
Enjoy your ride if you choose to be awed😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊
No he’s not actually going back to Main Street . He’s just getting nostalgic about it and reminiscing about those times.
This is my favorite song from him, cause I just love the guitar tone and the lyrics.
Great choice!
Bob Seger had no bad songs...just take your pick! Among my personal favorites are this song, Till It Shines, and Roll Me Away.
So many good songs. Roll Me Away, Horizontal Bop, Betty Lou, Feel Like a Number, The Famous Final Scene, and Hollywood Nights. Just a few. So many more as well.
Yep! One of the many, many hits that Bob had through his long career. "Roll Me Away", " Like A Rock", "Nutbush City" and "Night Moves" are some of my favorites. BTW, he goes back to Main Street in his thoughts. He's reminiscing.
Yes it is one of his greatest hits and a personal favorite albeit quite a melancholy song
Do more Bob heis awesome he is more rock and roll and blues. Just love him..
In his memories, back down on main st.
Give us more Bob!
The Police, Every Breath You Take is the ultimate stalker song. 😁
He was a Detroit soul and r&b influenced singer who learned to play rock
Tip of the iceberg 😊😊😊😊😊
Bob Seger is an extraordinary story teller through his kick-ass music. Btw this classic was released in 1976.
❤❤❤
Check out "Come to Papa" and "Her Strut"
As deep as his music was this was my favorite. I finally got to see him on his Final Tour, and it was 3 1/2 hours of AWESOME😎 He had the biggest bass saxophone I've ever seen😲
Not on this song though.

Wasn't old enough to get in the club
❤😊
I think that he knew it wasn't meant to be , he went home and got on with his life . But when he's feeling lonely and
beat , he drifts back in time and he finds his feet down on main street
( Reminiscing)
And…the guitar weeps.
Keep going!
It’s reflective has much of bob segers music is 👊
One of about 50 hits.
This was a time BEFORE EVERYTHING WAS CONSIDERED STALKING‼️🤨
No stalking,since the beginning of time young men and women have conveniently just happened to be around when a crush walks on by. Stalking is a different animal. When I was young I had both kinds of attention,you feel the difference hard.😊
Them dudes falling for the lure and magic of them beautiful young dancers (strippers).
Kenny Rogers does a song with a similar theme. Called “Scarlett Fever”.
Music from the American ❤ Land sad now Known as the the American Rust belt 😢
I would like to ask Bob Segar if he ever worked up the courage to actually approach and talk to her?
I’m sorry but you are way off base. First, Bob Seger is all Rock and Roll. Stalker? No, listen to the song again without the purpose of “analyzing”. It’s a beautifully iconic song of a man admiring a “lovely dancer”…
Bob’s music is of and for the “common” people. Main Street is a statement of: no matter what you must do to make money, it’s okay, and you’re beautiful (my interpretation).
I feel … so much of “getting lost” in the beauty of the music - for what it is and the musicianship, is being lost; for the purpose of analyzing and labeling. Just enjoy it.
The stalker comment was just for jokes 😂
He thinks about her
A great story and song Bob dining ing with great emotion. Not a huge hit though definitely one of Bob’s best!
Man ,you missed the brilliant guitar lick to open the song ?
No he says he thinks about her when he's lonely
Not really a hardcore strip club. During that time it was more go-go dancers was as erotic as things got.
WORST reaction ever
He was looking back a teenager he couldn't go in the clubs thsts why he was looking through the glass a teenage crush not a stalker
