Em
On a long and lonely highway east of Omaha
D
You can listen to the engine, moanin' out as one long song
        A                                                      Em
You can think about the woman, or the girl you knew the night before
Em
And 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 ridin', you just wish the trip was through


[Chorus]

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


[Verse]

Em
You walk into a restaurant, 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
Sometimes you hear 'em talkin', 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 dare not make a stand


[Chorus]

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

[Verse]   
    
Em
Out there in the spotlight, you're a million miles away
D
Every ounce of energy you try to give away
        A                                                  Em
And the sweat pours from your body like the music that you play
Em
Later on that evening, as you lie awake in bed
D
Echoes of the amplifiers ringin' in your head
        A                                                    Em
And you smoke the day's last cigarette, remembering what she said


[Chorus]

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