On a long and lonesome highway
East of Omaha
You can listen to the engines

Moanin' out as one note song
You think about the woman or the girl
You knew the night before


But your thoughts will soon be wanderin'
The way they allways do

Then you're ridin' sixteen hours
And there's nothin' much to do
And you don't feel much like ridin'

You just wish the trip was through

Here I am, on the road again

There I am, up on the stage
Here I go, playin' star again
There I go, turn the page


So you walk into this restaurant
Strung out from the road

And you feel the eyes upon you
As you're shakin' off the cold
You pretend it doesn't bother you

But you just want to explode

Yeah most times you can't hear 'em talk

Other times you can
All the same old cliches:
"Is it woman? Is it man?"

And you always seem outnumbered
You don't dare make a stand
Make your stand


Here I am, on the road again
There I am, up on the stage

Here I go, playin' star again
There I go, turn the page


Here I am, on the road again
There I am, up on the stage
There I go, there I go

There I go, there I go
And I'm gone


Who oh
Out there in the spotlight, your a million miles away
Every ounce of energy, your dying to give away

As the sweat pours out your body, like the music that you
play


Later in the evenin' as you lie awake in bed
With echoes from the amplifiers ringin' in your head
You smoke the day's last cigerette

Rememberin' what she said

Here I am, on the road again

There I am, up on the stage
Here I go, playin' star again
There I go, turn the page


Here I am, on the road again
There I am, up on the stage

There I go, there I go
There I go, there I go
And I'm gone
