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