On a long and lonesome highway,east of omaha
You can listen to the engine moaning out it's one long song
you think about the woman or the girl you knew the night before
Verse 2:
your thoughts will soon be wondering the ways they always do
When you're ridin' sixteen hours and there's nothin' much to do
you don't feel much like ridin' you just wish the trip was thru
Chorus:
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
Verse 3:
Well you walk into to 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
Verse4:
Sometimes you can hear them talk,other times you can't
All the same old cliches is that a woman or a man
and you always seem out numbered, you don't dare make a stand
Chorus
Verse 5:
Out there in the spot lights you're a million miles away
Every ounce of energy you try to give away
And the sweat pours out your body like the music that you play
Verse 6:
Later in the evening as you lie a wake in bed
Echoes from the amplifires ringing in your head
And you smoke the day's last cigarette remembering what she said
Chorus
