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
