Intro: See tab at bottom


        Em
On a long and lonesome highway, east of Omaha
                D
You can listen to the engine moanin' out it's one note song
               A                                                                                              Em
You can think about the woman, or the girl you knew the night before


                Em
But your thoughts will soon be wandering the way they always do
                       D
When you're riding sixteen hours and there's nothing much to do
                 A                                                                                                       Em
And you don't feel much like riding, you just wish the trip was through

Mmmm

 
Em               D               Em                          D                      Em
Say, here I am, on the road again There I am, up on the stage
           D                  A                             C      D                Em
Here I go, playing star again There I go,        turn the page, ah 


Well, you walk into a restaurant, 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 explode


Most times you can't hear 'em talk, other times you can
All the same old clichés: "Is that a woman or a man?"
And you always seem outnumbered, you don't dare make a stand
 

Chorus
 

Out 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 play

(slightly muted chords, strum once for the quiet part)
Later in the evening as you lie awake in bed
With the echoes from the amplifiers ringin' in your head
You smoke the day's last cigarette, remembering what she said
