Em----------------------------------- On a long and lonesome highway, east of Omaha
-------- D ------------------------ You can listen to the engines moan out their one note song
--- Am ----------------------------------------------------- Em ---- you think about your woman, or the girl you knew the night before
Em-------------------- as your thoughts they're slowly wandering, the way they always do
------------ D ------------- When you're riding 16 hours, with nothin much to do
-------- Am --------------------------------------------------------- Em --- and you don't feel much like riding, you wish the trip was through..
------ D ---------- Em ------- Here I am... on the road again
------ D ---------- Em ------- Here I am... up on the stage
------ D ----------A ------- And there I go... playing the star again
-------- C -D --------- Em ------ there I go... turn the page.
You walk into a restaurant (ouch!) strung out from the road you can feel the eyes upon you, as you're shakin off the cold You pretend it doesn't bother you, you just want to explode
Most times you can hear them talk, other times you can't It's that same old cliche, "Is that a woman or a man?" And you always feel outnumbered, you wanna take a stand
Chorus
Out there in the spotlight, you're a million m,iles away And every ounce of energy, you try to give away As the sweat pours out your body, fromo the music that you play
Later in the evening, as you lie awake in bed With the echoes from our amplifiers ringing in your head You smoke the days last cigarette, rememberin what you said
