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

Here I am, on the road again
