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