Mike Rutherford
Michael John Cloete Crawford "Mike" Rutherford (born 2 October 1950) is an English musician. He is a founding member of Genesis and one of the band's only two original members (the other is keyboardist Tony Banks). He used his full name Michael Rutherford in credits on all the group's albums with Peter Gabriel.
Initially serving as Genesis' bass guitarist and backing vocalist, Rutherford also performed most of the band's rhythm guitar parts - frequently on twelve-string guitar - in collaboration with successive Genesis lead guitarists Anthony Phillips and Steve Hackett. Following Hackett's departure from Genesis in 1977, Rutherford assumed the additional role of lead guitarist on the band's studio albums (beginning with ...And Then There Were Three... in 1978). Rutherford was one of the main Genesis songwriters throughout their career and wrote the lyrics for some of the band's biggest international hits, such as "Follow You Follow Me", "Turn It On Again", "Land of Confusion" and "Throwing It All Away". He was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame as a member of Genesis in 2010.

Every Road
by: Mike RutherfordHow, how can I
How can I be back here again
It was just the other day.
That I, I said I
I said I would be moving on
Seems to me I'm going round and round
It's the only way I know.
Every road that I take is the same
Everyway I go, everyday I go
Leading me back the way I've just come
Every road that I take is the same
Don't be sorry please, don't you worry please
I will be back again very soon.
Then, when I know
I know that I have stayed too long
And there's nothing left for me to say
So I'll be on my way
Every road that I take is the same
Everyway I go, everyday I go
Leading me back the way I've just come
Every road that I take is the same
Don't be sorry please, don't you worry please,
I will be back again very soon.
Follow me now, wherever I go
Follow me now.
