Em
On a long and lonesome highway, east of Omaha
D2
You can listen to the engine moanin' out his one long song
A4
Em
You can think about the woman or the girl you knew the night before
Em
But your thoughts will soon be wandering, the way they always do
D2
When you're ridin' sixteen hours and there's nothin' much to do
A4
Em
And you don't feel much like ridin', you just wish the trip was through
D2
Em
Here I am, on the road again
D2
Em
There I am, up on the stage
D2
A4
Here I go, playin' the star again
C
D2
Em
There I go. Turn the page
Em
So you walk into this restaurant, all strung out from the road
D2
And you feel the eyes upon you, as you're shakin' off the cold
A4
Em
You pretend it doesn't bother you, but you just want to explode
Em
Yeah, most times you can't hear 'em talk, other times you can
D2
All the same old cliches, is it woman? Is it man?
A4
Em
And you always seem outnumbered, you don't dare make a stand
Make your stand
D2

Here I am, on the road again

There I go. Turn the page
Em
Out there in the spotlight, you're a million miles away
D2
Every ounce of energy, you try and give away
A4
Em
As the sweat pours out your body, like the music that you play
Em
Later in the evening, as you lie awake in bed
D2
With the echoes of the amplifiers ringin' in your head
A4
Em
You smoke the day's last cigarette, rememberin' what she said
(What she said)
