[Verse 1]
     Em
On a long and lonesome highway, east of Omaha
        Dsus2
You can listen to the engine moanin' out his one long song
        Asus4                                                      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
            Dsus2
When you're ridin' sixteen hours and there's nothin' much to do
        Asus4                                                        Em
And you don't feel much like ridin', you just wish the trip was through

[Chorus]
       Dsus2      Em
Here I am, on the road again
        Dsus2    Em
There I am, up on the stage
       Dsus2           Asus4
Here I go, playin' the star again
        C  Dsus2      Em
There I go.  Turn the page

[Verse 2]
       Em
So you walk into this restaurant, all strung out from the road
        Dsus2
And you feel the eyes upon you, as you're shakin' off the cold
       Asus4                                                Em
You pretend it doesn't bother you, but you just want to explode
           Em
Yeah, most times you can't hear 'em talk, other times you can
        Dsus2
All the same old cliches, is it woman? Is it man?
        Asus4                                              Em
And you always seem outnumbered, you don't dare make a stand

Make your stand

[Chorus]
       Dsus2      Em
Here I am, on the road again
        Dsus2    Em
There I am, up on the stage
       Dsus2           Asus4
Here I go, playin' the star again
        C  Dsus2      Em
There I go.  Turn the page

[Verse 3]
Em
Out there in the spotlight, you're a million miles away
      Dsus2
Every ounce of energy, you try and give away
       Asus4                                                Em
As the sweat pours out your body, like the music that you play
Em
Later in the evening, as you lie awake in bed
         Dsus2
With the echoes of the amplifiers ringin' in your head
    Asus4                                                   Em
You smoke the day's last cigarette, rememberin' what she said

(What she said)

[Chorus]
       Dsus2      Em
Here I am, on the road again
        Dsus2    Em
There I am, up on the stage
           Dsus2           Asus4
And here I go, playin' the star again
        C  Dsus2      Em
There I go.  Turn the page

        C  Dsus2        Em
There I go.  Turn that page
        C            Dsus2
There I go-o-o, yeah yeah
           Em
There I go-o, yeah yeah

[Outro]

        Dsus2      Em
There I go, yeah
       Dsus2       Em
Here I go, yeah
        C    Dsus2            Em
There I go-o-o     There I go-o
