Em
On a long and lonesome highway, east of Omaha
D
You can listen to the engines moaninʼ
D
Out as one old song
Am
You can think about the woman or the girl
Am
You knew the night before
EmEm
But your thoughts will soon be wandering
Em
The way they always Do
D
When youʼre ridinʼ sixteen hours
D
And thereʼs nothinʼ much to Do
Am
And you donʼt feel much like riding
Am
You just wish the trip was through
EmDEm
Here I am, on the road again
DEm
There I am, up on the stage
DAm
There I go, playinʼ star again
CDEm
There I go, turn the page
Em
So you walk into this restaurant
Em
Strung out from the road
D
And you feel the eyes upon you
D
As youʼre shaking off the cold
Am
You pretend it doesnʼt bother you
Am
But you just want to explode
EmEm
Yeah most times you canʼt hear ʼem talk
Em
But other times you can
D
All the same old clichés:
D
"Is it woman? Is it man?"
Am
And you always seem outnumbered
Am
You donʼt dare make a stand
Em
Make your stand
DEm
Here I am, on the road again
DEm
There I am, up on the stage
DAm
Here I go, playinʼ star again
CDEm
There I go, turn the page
Em
Out there in the spotlight, youʼre a million miles away
Dm
Every ounce of energy you try and give away
A
As the sweat pours out your body, like the music that you play
EmEm
Later in the evening as you lie awake in bed
D
With the echoes of the amplifiers ringinʼ in your head
Am
You smoke the dayʼs last cigarette
Am
Rememberinʼ what she said
Em
What she said
DEm x2
DAmCDEm
Yeah
DEm
Here I am, on the road again
DEm
There I am, up on the stage
DAm
Here I go, playinʼ star again
CDEm
There I go, turn the page
CDEm
And there I go, turn that page
CDEm
There I go, yeah
CDEm
Here I go, yeah
CDEm
Here I go, yeah
CDEm
Here I go, yeah
CDEm
There I go, there I Go
CDEm
(And Iʼm gone)
