Lars Ulrich - Turn the Page lyrics

[Verse 1] On a long and lonesome highway east of Omaha You can listen to the engines moaning out its one old song You can think about the woman, or the girl you knew the night before But your thoughts will soon be wandering the way they always do When you are riding sixteen hours and there's nothing much to do You don't feel much like riding, you just wish the trip was through [Chorus] But here I am, on the road again There I am, up on the stage There I go, playing the star again There I go, turn the page [Verse 2] You walk into this restaurant, strung out from the road And you feel the eyes upon you, as you are shaking off the cold You pretend it doesn't bother you, but you just want to explode And most times you can't hear them talk, other times you can All the same old cliches: is it woman? Is it man? And you always seem outnumbered, you dare not make a stand, make your stand [Chorus] But here I am, on the road again There I am, up on the stage There I go, playing the star again There I go, turn the page [Verse 3] Out there in the spotlight, 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 Later in the evening, as you lie awake in bed With the echoes of the amplifiers, ringing in your head You smoke the day's last cigarette, remembering what she said What she said [Chorus] But here I am, on the road again There I am, up on the stage There I go, playing the star again There I go, turn the page [Outro] There I go, turn that page There I go, yeah, there I go, yeah There I go, yeah, Here I go There I go, there I go And I'm gone
