On a long and lonesome highway 

Eeast of Omaha 

You can hear the engine moaning out 

His one long one note song 

You can think about the woman 

Or the girl you knew the night before



But your thoughts will be wandering 

The way they always do 

When you're riding sixteen hours 

And there's nothing much to do 

And you don't feel much like riding

You just wish the trip was through 



CHORUS:

Here I am, On the road again 

There I am, Up on the stage 

Here I go, Playing star again 

There I go, Turn the page 



Well you walk into a restaurant

Strung out from the road 

And you feel the eyes upon you 

As you're shaking off the cold 

You pretend it doesn't bother you 

But you just want to explode 



Most times you can't hear them talk

Other times you can 

All the same old cliche's

Is that a woman or a man 

And you always seem outnumbered

You don't dare make a stand 



CHORUS



Out there in the spotlight 

You're a million miles away 

Every ounce of energy 

you try to give away 

As the sweat pours out your body 

Like the music that you play 



Later in the evening 

As you lie awake in bed 

With the echoes of the amplifiers 

Ringing in your head 

You smoke the day's last cigarette

Remembering what she said 



CHORUS



CHORUS



There I go
