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