Em
on a long and lonesome highway east of Omaha
        D
you can listen to the engine moaning out as one long song
        A                                                     Em
you can think about the woman, or the girl you knew the night before
Em
But your thoughts will soon be wandering the way they always do
          D
when you’re riding sixteen hours and there's nothing much to do
    A                                                                 Em
you don't feel much like riding, you just wish the trip was through

           D               Em
Say here I am, on the road again
       D               Em
There I am, up on the stage
       D               A
here I go, playing the star again
        C  D         Em
there I go, turn the page


Em
Well you walk into a restaraunt, strung out from the road
        D
and you feel the eyes upon you, as you’re shaking off the cold
     A                                                         Em
you pretend it doesn't bother you, but you just want to explode
Em
Most times you can hear 'em talk, other times you can't
        D
all the same old cliches is that a woman or a man
   A                                                       Em
and you always seem outnumbered, you don’t dare make a stand


(refrão)
           D               Em
but here I am, on the road again
       D               Em
there I am, up on the stage
       D               A
here I go, playing the star again
        C  D         Em
there I go, turn the page


Em
out there in the spotlight, you’re a million miles away
       D
every ounce of energy you try to give away
        A                                                       Em
as the sweat pours from your body, like the music that you play

Em
later in the evening, as you lie awake in bed
        D
with the echos from  the amplifiers, ringing in your head
   A                                                        Em
you smoke the day’s last cigarette, remembering what she said


(refrão)
           D               Em
but here I am, on the road again
       D               Em
here I am, up on the stage
       D               A
here I go, playing the star again
        C  D         Em
there I go, turn the page

           D               Em
Ah here I am, on the road again
       D               Em
There I am, up on the stage
       D               A
here I go, playing the star again
        C  D         Em
there I go, there I go...
