[Intro]
Cm


[Verse]          
     Cm
On a long and lonesome highway, east of Omaha
        A#
You can listen to the engine

moanin' out his one note song
        F
You can think about the woman
                                 Cm
or the girl you knew the night before
Cm
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
        F
And you don't feel much like ridin',
                                   Cm
you just wish the trip was through


[Chorus]
(Cm)       A#          Cm
Say here I am, on the road again
        A#              Cm
there I am, up on the stage
       A#                F
here I go, playing the star again
        G#  A#         Cm
there I go, turn the page


[Verse]
         Cm
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
    F
You pretend it doesn't bother you
                             Cm
but you just want to explode
     Cm
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?
        F
And you always seem outnumbered,
                            Cm
you don't dare make a stand


[Chorus]
(Cm)   A#          Cm
Here I am, on the road again
        A#              Cm
there I am, up on the stage
       A#                F
here I go, playing the star again
        G#  A#         Cm
there I go, turn the page


[Interlude]
Cm


[Verse]
Cm
Out there in the spotlight

you're a million miles away
A#
Every ounce of energy

you try to give away
       F
As the sweat pours out your body
                             Cm
like the music that you play
Cm
Later in the evening

as you lie awake in bed
         A#
With the echoes from the amplifiers

ringin' in your head
     F
You smoke the day's last cigarette,
                          Cm
rememberin' what she said


[Chorus]
(Cm)   A#          Cm
Here I am, on the road again
        A#              Cm
there I am, up on the stage
       A#                F
here I go, playing the star again
        G#  A#         Cm
there I go, turn the page


[Chorus]
(Cm)   A#          Cm
Here I am, on the road again
        A#        Cm
there I am, up on the stage
       A#                F
here I go, playing the star again
        G#  A#        Cm
there I go, there I go
