Lyrics

[Verse 1]
On a long and lonesome highway east of Omaha
You can listen to the engines moanin' out his one note song
You'd think about the woman or the girl you knew the night before
[Verse 2]
But your thoughts will soon be wanderin' the way they always do
When you're ridin' sixteen hours nothin' much to do
And you don't feel much like ridin', you wish the trip was through
[Verse 3]
Here I am
On the road again
Here I am
Up on the stage
Here I go
Playin' star again
Here I go
Turn the page
[Verse 4]
So you walk into this restaurant, all 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
[Verse 5]
Yeah, most times you can't hear 'em talk, other times you can
All the same old cliché's, "Is it woman or is it man?"
And you always seem outnumbered, you don't dare make your stand
Make your stand
[Verse 6]
Here I am
On the road again
Here I am
Up on the stage
Here I go
Playin' star again
Here I go
Turn the page
[Verse 7]
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
[Verse 8]
Later in the evenin' 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
What she said
[Verse 9]
She said here I am
On the road again
Here I am
Up on that stage
There you go
You're playin' star again
There you go
Turn that page
[Verse 10]
Here I am
On the road again
Here I am
Up on the stage
Here I go
Playin' star again
Here I go
There I go
