On a long and lonesome highway 00:22

East of Omaha 00:25

You can listen to the engines moanin' 00:28

Out this one-note song 00:30

You'd think about the woman 00:34

Or the girl you knew the night before 00:37

But your thoughts will soon be wanderin' 00:46

The way they always do 00:49

When you're ridin' 16 hours 00:52

There's nothin' much to do 00:55

And you don't feel much like ridin' 00:57

You just wish the trip was through 01:01

Here I am, on the road again 01:08

There I am, up on the stage 01:14

There I go playin' the star again 01:20

There I go, turn the page 01:25

So you walk into this restaurant 01:34

All strung out from the road 01:37

And you feel the eyes upon you 01:39

As you're shakin' off the cold 01:42

You pretend it doesn't bother you 01:45

But you just want to explode 01:48

Yeah, most times you can't hear 'em talk 01:56

Other times you can 01:59

All the same old clichés 02:02

Is it woman, is it man? 02:04

And you always seem outnumbered 02:08

You don't dare make a stand 02:10

Make your stand 02:15

Here I am, on the road again 02:18

There I am, up on the stage 02:23

Here I go playin' the star again 02:29

There I go, turn the page 02:34

Oh-oh, out there in the spotlight 02:42

You're a million miles away 02:45

Every ounce of energy 02:48

You try and give away 02:50

As the sweat pours out your body 02:53

Like the music that you play, yeah 02:56

Later in the evenin' 03:05

As you lie awake in bed 03:09

With the echoes of the amplifiers 03:11

Ringin' in your head 03:13

You smoke the day's last cigarette 03:16

Rememberin' what she said 03:19

What she said 03:24

Yeah, and here I am, on the road again 03:48

There I am, up on the stage 03:53

Here I go playin' the star again 03:59

There I go, turn the page 04:04

And there I go 04:10

Turn that page 04:12

There I go, yeah, yeah 04:14

There I go, yeah, yeah 04:19

Here I go, yeah 04:31

Lyrics:

[English]

On a long and lonesome highway

East of Omaha

You can listen to the engines moanin'

Out this one-note song

You'd think about the woman

Or the girl you knew the night before

But your thoughts will soon be wanderin'

The way they always do

When you're ridin' 16 hours

There's nothin' much to do

And you don't feel much like ridin'

You just wish the trip was through

Here I am, on the road again

There I am, up on the stage

There I go playin' the star again

There I go, turn the page

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

Yeah, most times you can't hear 'em talk

Other times you can

All the same old clichés

Is it woman, is it man?

And you always seem outnumbered

You don't dare make a stand

Make your stand

Here I am, on the road again

There I am, up on the stage

Here I go playin' the star again

There I go, turn the page

Oh-oh, out there in the spotlight

You're a million miles away

Every ounce of energy

You try and give away

As the sweat pours out your body

Like the music that you play, yeah

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

Yeah, and here I am, on the road again

There I am, up on the stage

Here I go playin' the star again

There I go, turn the page

And there I go

Turn that page

There I go, yeah, yeah

Here I go, yeah

There I go

And I'm gone
