Em
on a long and lonesome highway east of Omaha
D
you can listen to the engine, moanin’ out his one-note song
A Em
you can think about the woman or the girl you knew
Em
the night before
Em
But your thoughts will soon be wandering the way they always do
D
when you’re ridin’ sixteen hours and there’s nothin’ much to do
A Em
you don’t feel much like ridin’, you just wish
Em
the trip was through
Chorus:
D Em
See here I am, on the road again
D Em
There I am, up on the stage
D A
Here I go, playin’ 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 shakin’ off the cold
A Em
you pretend it doesn’t bother you, but you just want to explode
Em
Most times you can’t hear ’em talk, other times you can
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
Chorus:
D Em
Here I am, on the road again
D Em
There I am, up on the stage
D A
Here I go, playin’ 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
and 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, rememberin’ what she said
Chorus:
D Em
Here I am, on the road again
D Em
There I am, up on the stage
D A
Here I go, playin’ star again
C D Em
There I go, turn the page
D Em
Here I am, on the road again
D Em
There I am, up on the stage
D A
Here I go, playin’ star again
C D Em
There I go, there I go
