|
On a long and lonesome highway, east of Omaha |
|
You can listen to the engine moanin' out it's one note song |
|
You can think about the woman, or the girl you knew the night before |
|
But your thoughts will soon be wandering, the way they always do |
|
When you're riding sixteen hours and there's nothing there to do |
|
And you don't feel much like riding, you just wish the trip was through |
|
Here I am, on the road again |
|
There I am, on the stage |
|
Here I go, playing star again |
|
There I go, turn the page |
|
Well you walk into a restaurant all strung out from the road |
|
And you feel the eyes upon you as you're shaking off the cold |
|
You pretend it doesn't bother you, but you just want to explode |
|
Most times you can't hear 'em talk, other times you can |
|
All the same old cliche's, is it woman is it man? |
|
You always seem outnumbered, so you don't dare make a stand |
|
Here I am, on the road again |
|
There I am, on the stage |
|
Here I go, playing star again |
|
There I go, turn the page |
|
Out there in the spotlight you're a million miles away |
|
Every ounce of energy, you try to give away |
|
As the sweat pours out your body like the music that you play |
|
Later in the evening as you lie awake in bed |
|
With the echoes from the amplifiers ringin' in your head |
|
You smoke the days last cigarette, remembering what she said |
|
Here I am, on the road again |
|
There I am, up on the stage |
|
Here I go, playing star again |
|
There I go, turn the page |
|
Here I am, on the road again |
|
There I am, on the stage yeah |
|
Here I go, playing star again |
|
There I go, there I go |
