on a long and lonesome highway east of omaha
you can listen to the engine moanin’outhis one notesong
you can think about the womanor the girl you knew the night before
but your thoughts will soon be wandering the way they always do
when you’re ridin’ sixteen hours and there’s nothin’ left to do
and you don’t feel much like riding you just wish the trip was through
here i am
on the road again
there i am
up on the stage
here i go
playing the 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 shakin’ off the cold
you pretend it doesn’t bother you but you just want to explode
most times you can’t hear ’em talk other times you can
all the same old cliches is that a woman or a man
and you always seem outnumbered you don’t dare make a stand
here i am
on the road again
there i am
up on the stage
here i go
playing the star again
there i go
turn the page
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 from the amplifiers ringin’ in your head
you smoke the day’s last cigarette remembering what she said
here i am
on the road again
there i am
up on the stage
here i go
playing the star again
there i go
turn the page
here i am
on the road again
there i am
up on the stage
here i go
playing the star again
there i go
turn the page
there i go
there i go
