On a long and lonesome highway, east of Omaha
You can listen to the engine moanin' out it's one note song
You can think about the woman, or the girl you knew the night before
But your thoughts will soon be wandering, the way they always do
When you're riding sixteen hours and there's nothing there to do
And you don't feel much like riding, you just wish the trip was throughHere I am, on the road again
There I am, on the stage
Here I go, playing star again
There I go, turn the pageWell you walk into a restaurant all strung out from the road
And you feel the eyes upon you as you're shaking off the cold
You pretend it doesn't bother you, but you just want to explodeMost times you can't hear 'em talk, other times you can
All the same old cliche's, is it woman is it man?
You always seem outnumbered, so you don't dare make a standHere I am, on the road again
There I am, on the stage
Here I go, playing star again
There I go, turn the pageOut there in the spotlight you're a million miles away
Every ounce of energy, you try to give away
As the sweat pours out your body like the music that you playLater in the evening as you lie awake in bed
With the echoes from the amplifiers ringin' in your head
You smoke the days last cigarette, remembering what she saidHere I am, on the road again
There I am, up on the stage
Here I go, playing star again
There I go, turn the pageHere I am, on the road again
There I am, on the stage yeah
Here I go, playing star again
There I go, there I go
