Bm On a long and lonesome highway east of Omaha A You can listen to the engine's moanin' out his one long one note song E Bm You can think about the woman or the girl you knew the night before Bm But your thoughts will soon be wandering the way they always do A When you're ridin' sixteen hours and there's nothin' much to do E Bm And you don't feel much like ridin', you wish just the trip was through
A Bm Here I am, on the road again A Bm There I am, upon the stage A E Here I go, playin star again G A Bm There I go, Turn the page
Bm Well you walk into a restaurant, strung out from the road A And you feel the eyes upon you as you're shakin' off the cold E Bm You pretend it doesn't bother you but you just want to explode Bm Most times you can't hear them talk, other times you can A All the same old clichés: "Is it a woman? Is it a man?" E Bm And you always seem outnumbered, you don't dare make a stand
A Bm Here I am, on the road again A Bm There I am, upon the stage A E Here I go, playin star again G A Bm There I go, Turn the page
Bm Out there in the spotlight you're a million miles away A Every ounce of energy you try to give away E Bm As the sweat pours out your body like the music that you play
Bm Later in the evening as you lie awake in bed A With the echoes of the amplifiers ringin' in your head E Bm You smoke the day's last cigarette, rememberin' what she said
A Bm Here I am, on the road again A Bm There I am, upon the stage A E Here I go, playin star again G A Bm There I go, Turn the page G A Bm There I go, Turn the page G A Bm There I go, yeah G A Bm There I go
