[Verse 1]
On a long and lonesome highway, east of Omaha
You can listen to the engine, moaning out its one note song
You can think about the woman, or the girl you knew the night before
Your thoughts will soon be wandering, the way they always do
When you're riding sixteen hours, and there's nothing much to do
When you don't feel much like riding, you wish the trip was through
[Chorus]
Here I am
I'm on the road again
There I am
I'm up on the stage
Here I go
I'm playing the star again
There I go
Turn the page
[Verse 2]
We're out there in the spotlight, you're a million miles away
And every ounce of energy, you tried to give away
And as the sweat pours out your body, like the music that you play
And now later in the evening, while you lie awake in bed
With the echoes from the amplifiers, ringing in your head
You smoke the day's last cigarette, remembering what she said!
[Chorus]
Here I am
I'm on the road again
There I am
I'm up on the stage
Here I go
Well I'm playing the star again
There I go
[Outro]
There I go
There I go!
There I go!
Go!
