Introduction:
Em
On a long and lonesome highway, east of Omaha
D
You can listen to the engine moanin' out it' s one note song
A 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
D
When you' re riding sixteen hours and there' s nothing much to do
A Em
And you don' t feel much like riding, you just wish the trip was through
Mmmm
Em D Em
Say, here I am, on the road again
D Em
There I am, up on the stage
D A
Here I go, playing star again
C D Em
There I go, turn the page, ah
Em
Well, you walk into a restaurant, strung out from the road
D
And you feel the eyes upon you as you' re shaking off the cold
A Em
You pretend it doesn' t bother you but you just want to explode
Em
Most times you can' t hear ' em talk, other times you can
D
All the same old cliché s: "Is that a woman or a man?"
A Em
And you always seem outnumbered, you don' t dare make a stand
Em D Em
Here I am, on the road again
D Em
There I am, up on the stage
D A
Here I go, playing star again
C D Em
There I go, turn the page, ah
Em
Out there in the spotlight you' re a million miles away
D
Every ounce of energy you try to give away
A 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
D
With the echoes from the amplifiers ringin' in your head
A Em
You smoke the day' s last cigarette, remembering what she said
Em D Em
Ah, here I am, on the road again
D Em
There I am, up on the stage
D A
Here I go, playing star again
C D Em
There I go, turn the page
Em D Em
Ah, here I am, on the road again
D Em
There I am, up on the stage
D A
Here I go, playing star again
C D Em
There I go, there I go
