Em
On a long and lonely highway east of Omaha
        D 
You can listen to the engines, moanin' out as one long song
        A                                                     Em
You can think about the woman, or the girl you knew the night before


Em
Well 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
And you don't feel much like ridin', you just wish the trip was through


CHORUS

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


Em
When 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             
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 dare not make a stand

CHORUS

       D          Em
Here I am, on the road again
        D         Em
There I am, up on 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 out your body like the music that you play


Em
Later in the evening, as you lie awake in bed
D
With the echoes from the amplifiers ringin' in your head
    A                                                    Em
You smoke the day's last cigarette, remembering what she said


CHORUS

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