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