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 Refrain X2
