On a long and lonesome highway east of Omaha
You can hear the engine moanin' out his one long one note
song
You can think about the woman or the girl you knew the
night before
But your thoughts will be wandering the way they always do
When you're ridin' sixteen hours and there's nothin' much to
do
And you don't feel much like ridin', you just wish the trip was
through
Here I am
On the road again
There I am
Up on the stage
Here I go
Playin' star again
There I go

Well you walk into a restaurant, strung out from the road
And you feel the eyes upon you as you're shakin' off the cold
You pretend it doesn't bother you but you just want to
explode
Most times you can't hear them talk, other times you can
All the same old clichй's, "Is that a woman or a man?"
And you always seem outnumbered, you don't dare make a
stand
Here I am
On the road again
There I am
Up on the stage
Here I go
Playin' star again
There I go
Turn the page
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
Later in the evening as you lie awake in bed
With the echoes of the amplifiers ringin' in your head
You smoke the day's last cigarette, rememberin' what she
said
Here I am
On the road again
There I am
Up on the stage
Here I go
Playin' star again
There I go
Turn the page
Here I am
On the road again
There I am
Up on the stage
Here I go
Playin' star again
There I go
There I go
