Intro: Em

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

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

Refrain:
           D               Em
But here I am , on the road again
       D             Em
Here I am , up on the stage
       D                    A
Here I go, playing the star again
        C  Dadd11          Em
There I go,       turn the page

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

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

Refrain

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

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