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