| Em | |
| on a long and lonely highway east of omaha |
| D | |
| you can | listen to the engine, moanin out as one long song |
| A | Em | |
| you can | think about the woman, or the girl you knew the night | before |
| and your thoughts will soo be wandering the way they always do |
| when your riding sixteen hours and there's nothing much to do |
| you don't feel much like travelin', you just wish the trip was through |
| CHORUS: |
| D | Em | |
| but here I | am, on the road | again |
| D | Em | |
| here I | am, up on the st | age |
| D | A | |
| here I | go, playing the | star again |
| C | D | Em | |
| there I | go, | turn the | page |
| you walk into a restaraunt, strung out from the road |
| and you feel the eyes opon you, as your shaking off the cold |
| you pretend it doesn't bother you, but you just want to explode |
| sometimes you hear 'em talkin', other times you can't |
| all the same 'ole cliche's is that a woman or a man |
| and you always seem outnumbered, you dare not make a stand |
| CHORUS |
| out there in the spotlight, your a million miles away |
| every ounce of energy, you try to give away |
| and the sweat pours from your body, like the music that you play |
| later on that evening, as you lie awake in bed |
| echos of the amplifiers, ringin in your head |
| and you smoke the days last cigarette, remembering what you said |
