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