[Intro]
Dm
[Verse]
Dm
On a long and lonesome highway
Dm
east of Omaha
C
You can listen to the engine,
C
moaning out his one note song
G
You can think about the woman,
G Dm Dm
or the girl you knew the night before
Dm
And your thoughts will soon be wandering
Dm
the way they always do
C
When you're riding sixteen hours
C
and there's nothing much to do
G
You don't feel much like riding',
G Dm Dm
you just wish the trip was through
[Chorus]
C Dm
Here I am, on the road again
C Dm
Here I am, up on the stage
C G
Here I go, playing star again
A# C Dm
There I go, turn the page
[Verse]
Dm
So you walk into a restaurant,
Dm
strung out from the road
C
And you feel the eyes upon you,
C
as you're shaking off the cold
G
You pretend it doesn't bother you,
G Dm Dm
but you just want to explode
Dm Dm
Most times you can here 'em talk,
other times you can't
C
All the same 'old cliches:
C
is that a woman? is a man?
G
And you always seem outnumbered,
G Dm Dm
you don’t dare make a stand
[Chorus]
C Dm
Here I am, on the road again
C Dm
Here I am, up on the stage
C G
Here I go, playing star again
A# C Dm
There I go, turn the page
[Verse]
Dm
Out there in the spotlight,
Dm
you’re a million miles away
C
Every ounce of energy,
C
you try to give away
G
As the sweat pours out your body,
G Dm Dm
like the music that you play
[Bridge]
Dm~ Dm~
Later in the evening, as you lie awake in bed
C~
With the echoes of the amplifiers,
C~
ringing in your head
G~
You smoke the day’s last cigarette,
G~ Dm~ Dm
remembering what she said
[Solo]
C Dm 3x
A# C Dm
C Dm 3x
A# C Dm
[Chorus]
C Dm
Here I am, on the road again
C Dm
Here I am, up on the stage
C G
Here I go, playing star again
A# C Dm
There I go, turn the page
A# C Dm
There I go, turn the page
A# C Dm Dm
There I go oh yeah, there I go yeah
C Dm C Dm C Dm
There I go, Here I go
A# C Dm~
There I go ohhh, here I go...
