Fm
On a long and lonesome highway east of Omaha
D#
you can listen to the engine, moaninʼ out his one-note song
A#Fm
you can think about the woman or the girl you knew
Fm
the night before
Fm
But your thoughts will soon be wandering the way they always do
D#
when youʼre ridinʼ sixteen hours and thereʼs nothinʼ much to do
A#Fm
you donʼt feel much like ridinʼ, you just wish
Fm
the trip was through
Chorus:
D#Fm
See here I am, on the road again
D#Fm
There I am, up on the stage
D#A#
Here I go, playinʼ star again
C#D#Fm
There I go, turn the page
Fm
Well you walk into a restaraunt, strung out from the road
D#
and you feel the eyes upon you, as youʼre shakinʼ off the cold
A#Fm
you pretend it doesnʼt bother you, but you just want to explode
Fm
Most times you canʼt hear ʼem talk, other times you can
D#
all the same old cliches, "Is that a woman or a man?"
A#Fm
and you always seem outnumbered, you donʼt dare make a stand
Chorus:
D#Fm
Here I am, on the road again
D#Fm
There I am, up on the stage
D#A#
Here I go, playinʼ star again
C#D#Fm
There I go, turn the page
Fm
Out there in the spotlight, youʼre a million miles away
D#
every ounce of energy, you try to give away
A#Fm
and the sweat pours out your body, like the music that you play
Fm
Later in the evening, as you lie awake in bed
D#
with the echoes from the amplifiers ringinʼ in your head
A#Fm
you smoke the dayʼs last cigarette, rememberinʼ what she said
Chorus:
D#Fm
Here I am, on the road again
D#Fm
There I am, up on the stage
D#A#
Here I go, playinʼ star again
C#D#Fm
There I go, turn the page
D#Fm
Here I am, on the road again
D#Fm
There I am, up on the stage
D#A#
Here I go, playinʼ star again
C#D#Fm
There I go, there I go
