On a Em long and lonesome highway,east of omaha
You can l D isten to the engine moaning out it's one long song
you Am think about the woman or the girl you knew the night be Em fore
Verse 2:
your t Em houghts will soon be wondering the ways they always do
When you'r D e ridin' sixteen hours and there's nothin' much to do
you do A n't feel much like ridin' you just wish the trip was Em thru
Chorus:
Here I a D m on the road Em again,
There I D am up on the s Em tage
Here I g D o,playin' A star again
there I C go D turn the p Em age
Verse 3:
Well you Em walk into to a restaurant strung out from the road
And you D feel the eyes upon you as you're shakin' off the cold
You Am pretend it doesn't bother you but you just want to ex Em plode
Verse4:
Sometimes yo Em u can hear them talk,other times you can't
All the D same old cliches is that a woman or a man
and you al Am ways seem out numbered, you don't dare make a Em stand
Chorus
Verse 5:
Out ther Em e in the spot lights you're a million miles away
D Every ounce of energy you try to give away
And the swe Am at pours out your body like the music that you Em play
Verse 6:
L Em ater in the evening as you lie a wake in bed
E D choes from the amplifires ringing in your head
And you Am smoke the day's last cigarette remembering what she Em said
Chorus
Waylon Jennings
