             Em

1. 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 travelin', you just wish the trip was through.

 

                  D               Em                        D                     Em

But here I am, on the road again, here I am, up on the stage,

           D                       A                          C   - D                Em      ~

here I go, playing the star again, there I go,         turn the page.

 

            Em

2. 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 'ole cliches : “Is that a woman or a man ?”

                   A                                                                                     - Em

    And you always seem outnumbered, you dare not make a stand.

 

                  D               Em                        D                     Em

But here I am, on the road again, here I am, up on the stage,

           D                       A                          C   - D                Em     ~ ~

here I go, playing the star again, there I go,         turn the page.

3. 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 in the evening, as you lie awake in bed,

                  D

    with the echos of the amplifiers, ringin’ in your head,

                       A                                                                                    - Em

    and you smoke the days last cigarette, remembering what you said.

 

                  D               Em                        D                     Em

But here I am, on the road again, here I am, up on the stage,

           D                       A                          C   - D                Em   

here I go, playing the star again, there I go,         turn the page.

 

            D               Em                        D                     Em

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

           D                       A                          C   - D                Em   

here I go, playing the star again, there I go,         turn the page.
