| Ebm |
| On a long and lonesome highway east of Omaha |
| C# |
| You can listen to the engine, |
| C# |
| moanin' out his one note song |
| Ab |
| You can think about the woman, |
| Ebm |
| Or the girl you knew the night before |
| Ebm |
| But your thoughts will soon be wandering |
| Ebm |
| the way they always do |
| C# |
| When you're ridin' sixteen hours |
| C# |
| and there's nothing much to do |
| Ab |
| And you don't feel much like ridin', |
| Ebm |
| you just wish the trip was through |
| Chorus: |
| C# Ebm |
| but here I am, on the road again |
| C# Ebm |
| here I am, up on the stage |
| C# Ab |
| here I go, playing the star again |
| B C# Ebm |
| there I go, turn the page |
| Ebm |
| So you walk into this restaurant, |
| Ebm |
| strung out from the road |
| C# |
| and you feel the eyes upon you, |
| C# |
| as your shaking off the cold |
| Ab |
| you pretend it doesn't bother you, |
| Ebm |
| but you just want to explode |
| Ebm |
| Yeah, most times you can't hear 'Ebmtalk, |
| Ebm |
| other times you can |
| C# |
| All the same old cliches |
| C# |
| "Is that a woman or a man?" |
| Ab |
| And you always seEbmoutnumbered, |
| Ebm |
| You don't dare make a stand |
| Ebm |
| Make your stand |
| Repeat Chorus |
| Ebm |
| Out there in the spotlight |
| Ebm |
| You're a million miles away |
| C# |
| Every ounce of energy You try to give away |
| Ab |
| As the sweat pours out your body |
| Ebm |
| Like the music that you play |
| Ebm |
| Later in the evening As you lie awake in bed |
| C# |
| With the echoes from the amplifiers |
| C# |
| Ringin' in your head |
| Ab |
| You smoke the day's last cigarette |
| Ebm |
| Rememberin' what she said |
| Ebm |
| What she said |
