Ebm
On a long and lonesome highway, east of Omaha
Db
You can listen to the engine moanin' out it's one lone song
AbEbm
You can think about the woman, or the girl you knew the night before
Ebm
But your thoughts will soon be wandering the way they always do
Db
When you're riding sixteen hours and there's nothing much to do
AbEbm
And you don't feel much like riding, you just wish the trip was through
EbmDbEbm
Say, here I am, on the road again
DbEbm
There I am, up on the stage
DbAb
Here I go, playing star again
BDbEbm
There I go, turn the page, ah
Ebm
Well, you walk into a restaurant, strung out from the road
Db
And you feel the eyes upon you as you're shaking off the cold
AbEbm
You pretend it doesn't bother you but you just want to explode
Ebm
Most times you can't hear 'em talk, other times you can
Db
All the same old clichés: "Is that a woman or a man?"
AbEbm
And you always seem outnumbered, you don't dare make a stand
EbmDbEbm
Here I am, on the road again
DbEbm
There I am, up on the stage
DbAb
Here I go, playing star again
BDbEbm
There I go, turn the page, ah
Ebm
Out there in the spotlight you're a million miles away
Db
Every ounce of energy you try to give away
AbEbm
As the sweat pours out your body like the music that you play
Ebm
Later in the evening as you lie awake in bed
Db
With the echoes from the amplifiers ringin' in your head
AbEbm
You smoke the day's last cigarette, remembering what she said
EbmDbEbm
Ah, 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

There I go, there I go
