[Intro]
Dm
[Verse]
Dm
On a long and lonesome highway, east of Omaha
C
You can listen to the engine
moanin' out his one note song
G
You can think about the woman
Dm
or the girl you knew the night before
Dm
But your thoughts will soon be wandering
the way they always do
C
When you're ridin' sixteen hours
and there's nothin' there to do
G
And you don't feel much like ridin',
Dm
you just wish the trip was through
[Chorus]
(
Dm)
C Dm
Say here I am, on the road again
C Dm
there I am, up on the stage
C G
here I go, playing the star again
A# C Dm
there I go, turn the page
[Verse]
Dm
Well you walk into a restaurant,
strung out from the road
C
And you feel the eyes upon you
as you're shakin' off the cold
G
You pretend it doesn't bother you
Dm
but you just want to explode
Dm
Most times you can't hear 'em talk,
other times you can
C
All the same old cliches,
Is that a woman or a man?
G
And you always seem outnumbered,
Dm
you don't dare make a stand
[Chorus]
(
Dm)
C Dm
Here I am, on the road again
C Dm
there I am, up on the stage
C G
here I go, playing the star again
A# C Dm
there I go, turn the page
[Interlude]
Dm
[Verse]
Dm
Out there in the spotlight
you're a million miles away
C
Every ounce of energy
you try to give away
G
As the sweat pours out your body
Dm
like the music that you play
Dm
Later in the evening
as you lie awake in bed
C
With the echoes from the amplifiers
ringin' in your head
G
You smoke the day's last cigarette,
Dm
rememberin' what she said
[Chorus]
(
Dm)
C Dm
Here I am, on the road again
C Dm
there I am, up on the stage
C G
here I go, playing the star again

there I go, there I go
