Intro: E5

E5
On a long and lonely highway east of omaha
        D5
You can listen to the engine, moanin out as one long song
        A5                                                     E5
You can think about the woman, or the girl you knew the night before

E5
And your thoughts will soon be wandering the way they always do
            D5
When you're riding sixteen hours and there's nothing much to do
    A5                                                                  E5
You don't feel much like travelin', you just wish the trip was through

Refrain:
           D5               E5
But here I am , on the road again
       D5             E5
Here I am , up on the stage
       D5                    A5
Here I go, playing the star again
        C5  Dadd11          E5
There I go,       turn the page

    E5
You walk into a restaraunt, strung out from the road
        D5
And you feel the eyes upon you, as you're shaking off the cold
        A5                                                      E5
You pretend it doesn't bother you, but you just want to explode

    E5
Sometimes you can here 'em talk, other times you can't
        D5
All the same 'old cliches: is that a woman or a man?
        A5                                                 E5
And you always seem outnumbered, you dare not make a stand

Refrain

E5
Out there in the spotlight, your a million miles away
      D5
Every ounce of energy, you try to give away
        A5                                                       E5
And the sweat pours from your body, like the music that you play

E5
Later in the evening, as you lie awake in bed
D5
Echos of the amplifiers, ringin' in your head
A5                                                               E5
As you smoke the days last cigarette, remembering what she said
