[Intro]
D#m
[Verse]
D#m
On a long and lonesome highway
D#m
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# D#m D#m
or the girl you knew the night before
D#m
And your thoughts will soon be wandering
D#m
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# D#m D#m
you just wish the trip was through
[Chorus]
C# D#m
Here I am, on the road again
C# D#m
Here I am, up on the stage
C# G#
Here I go, playing star again
B C# D#m
There I go, turn the page
[Verse]
D#m
So you walk into a restaurant,
D#m
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# D#m D#m
but you just want to explode
D#m D#m
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# D#m D#m
you don’t dare make a stand
[Chorus]
C# D#m
Here I am, on the road again
C# D#m
Here I am, up on the stage
C# G#
Here I go, playing star again
B C# D#m
There I go, turn the page
[Verse]
D#m
Out there in the spotlight,
D#m
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# D#m D#m
like the music that you play
[Bridge]
D#m~ D#m~
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#~ D#m~ D#m
remembering what she said
[Solo]
C# D#m 3x
B C# D#m
C# D#m 3x
B C# D#m
[Chorus]
C# D#m
Here I am, on the road again
C# D#m
Here I am, up on the stage
C# G#
Here I go, playing star again
B C# D#m
There I go, turn the page
B C# D#m
There I go, turn the page
B C# D#m D#m
There I go oh yeah, there I go yeah
C# D#m C# D#m C# D#m
There I go, Here I go
B C# D#m~
There I go ohhh, here I go...
