On a long and lonesome highway
East of Omaha
You can listen to the engine
Moanin' out his one note song
Think about the woman you knew the night before
Thoughts will soon be wandering
The way they always do
When you're ridin' sixteen hours
And there's nothin' much to do
And you don't feel much like ridin'
You just wish the trip was through
Here I am
On the road again
Here I am
Up on the stage
Tere I go
Playin' star again
There I go
Turn the page
You walk into a restaurant
Strung out from the road
And you feel the eyes upon you
As you're shakin' off the cold
You pretend it does not bother you
But you just want to explode
Most times you can't hear 'em talking
Other times you can
All the same old cliches
Is that a woman or a man
And you always seem outnumbered
You don't dare make a stand
Here I am
On the road again
Here I am
Up on the stage
There I go
Playin' 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 day's last cigarette
Rememberin' what she said
Here I am
On the road again
Here I am
Up on the stage
There I go
Playin' star again
There I go
Turn the page
Here I am
On the road again
Here I am
Up on the stage
There I go
Playin' star again
There I go
There I go
Turn the page
