On a long and lonesome highwayeast of OmahaYou can listen to the enginemoanin' out his one note song You can think about the womanor the girl you knew the night before But your thoughts will soon be wanderingthe way they always do When you're ridin' sixteen hoursand there's nothin' much to do And you don't feel much like ridin',you just wish the trip was through Here I amOn the road again There I am Up on the stage Here I goPlayin' star again There I go Turn the page Well you walk into a restaurant,strung out from the road And you feel the eyes upon youas you're shakin' off the cold You pretend it doesn't bother youbut you just want to explode Most times you can't hear 'em talk,other times you can All the same old cliches,"Is that a woman or a man?" And you always seem outnumbered,you don't dare make a stand Here I amOn the road again There I am Up on the stage Here I goPlayin' star again There I go Turn the page Out there in the spotlightyou're a million miles away Every ounce of energyyou try to give away As the sweat pours out your bodylike the music that you play Later in the eveningas you lie awake in bed With the echoes from the amplifiersringin' in your head You smoke the day's last cigarette,rememberin' what she said Here I amOn the road again There I am Up on the stage Here I goPlayin' star again There I go Turn the page Here I amOn the road again There I am Up on the stage Here I goPlayin' star again There I go Turn the page There I go There I go
